Question
Design of T-beams
A T-beam for a floor system has a slab thickness of 4" and a web thickness of 16". It has an effective depth
of 650 mm. The beam carries a dead load moment of 270 KN.m and a live load moment 460 KN. m. It has
a span of 17.5ft. and a spacing center to center of 10.5 ft. fc=20.7 MPa and Fy=344.70 MPa.
1. Determine the effective width of the flange.
2. Determine the depth of compression block.
3. Determine the steel area required.
