Asc :Area of steel in compression.
Ast :Area of transverse steel in flange.
b :Breadth of the section.
bw :Breadth or effective breadth of the rib; for a box, T or L section.
bw is taken as the average breadth of concrete below the flange.
h :Overall depth of the cross section of a reinforcement member.
Hf :Depth of flange
l :Span of the beam

Support conditions Rectangular section Flanged beams with

bw / b= 1 bw / b≤ 0.3
Cantilever 7 5.6

Simply supported 20 16.0

Continuous 26 20.8

The basic span/effective depth ratios for beams are given in Table 3.9 are based on limiting the total deflection to
span/250 and this should normally ensure that the part of the deflection occurring after construction of finishes
and partitions will be limited to span / 500 or 20mm, whichever is the lesser, for spans up to 10m. For values of
bw/b greater than 0.3, linear interpolation between the values given in Table 3.9 for rectangular sections and for
flanged beams with bw / b of 0.3 may be used.

Table 3.5 — Design ultimate bending moments and shear forces

Table 3.5 may be used to calculate the design ultimate bending moments and shear forces, subject to the following provisions:
a) characteristic imposed load Qk may not exceed characteristic dead load Gk;
b) loads should be substantially uniformly distributed over three or more spans;
c) variations in span length should not exceed15% of longest.

Table 3.12 — Ultimate bending moment and shear forces in one-way spanning slabs
(approximately equal span) variations in span length should not exceed15% of longest
