ជេំ បសិទិ ព (Effective Depth)

𝜙 = Diameter of stirrup Φ = Diameter of main steel

sp = Space of main steel h = depth of beam
n = number of steep (main steel)
d

n=1
d = h – covering - 𝜙 -
( )
d = h – covering - 𝜙 - ϕ – sp

n=2
d d = h – covering - 𝜙 – ϕ -
( )
d = h – covering - 𝜙 - ϕ – sp

sp

n=3
d = h – covering - 𝜙 - ϕ – sp - 𝜙
d
d = h – covering - 𝜙 - ϕ – sp
( )
d = h – covering - 𝜙 - ϕ – sp

sp

n=4
d = h – covering - 𝜙 - 2ϕ – sp - sp
d
d = h – covering - 𝜙 - 2ϕ – sp
( )
d = h – covering - 𝜙 - ϕ – sp

sp

n=5
d = h – covering - 𝜙 - 2ϕ – 2sp - ϕ
d d = h – covering - 𝜙 - ϕ – 2sp
( )
d = h – covering - 𝜙 - ϕ – sp
( )
Thus d = h – covering - 𝜙 - ϕ – sp
