    This document analyzes T-beams and non-rectangular beams. It discusses how reinforced concrete floor systems consist of slabs and beams placed monolithically, acting together to resist loads. T-beams have extra slab widths called flanges on top, forming a T-shape. Equations from building codes specify limits for effective flange widths. Examples calculate stresses in T-beam sections, finding neutral axis locations and bending stresses.

    Analysis (Investigation or review) of T-Beams and Non-Rectangular Beams

    Reinforced concrete floor systems normally consist of slabs and beams are placed
    monolithically. As a result, the two parts act together to resist loads. In effect the beams
    have extra widths at their tops, called flanges, and the resulting T-shaped beams are
    called T-beams. The part of a T-beam below the slab is referred to as the web or stem.
    (The beams may be L-shaped if the stem is at the end of a slab)

    Figure 2.1 Effective Flange Width

    Section 408.11.2 of the NSCP states that the width of slab effective as a T-beam flange
    shall not exceed one fourth the span length of the beam, and the effective overhanging
    slab width on each side of the web shall not exceed:
    1. Eight times the slab thickness, or
    2. One half the clear distances to the next web.

    The NSCP through its section 408.11.3 states that for beams with a slab on one side
    only, the effective overhanging flange width shall not exceed:
    1. One twelfth the span length of the beam,
    2. six times the slab thickness, or
    3. one half the clear distance to the next web

    Solution:

    Assume the Neutral Axis in the flange,


    bf = 900mm bf = 900mm

    NA x
