DESIGN FOR T-BEAM

PROPERTIES:
Compression Strenght of concrete fc'= 32 MPa
Yeild strength of the reinforcing bars fy= 275 MPa
Span L= 4.8 m
Thickness t= 100 mm
Width of web bw= 300 mm
¼L= 1200 mm
With of flange bf = 16t+bw= 1900 mm
S= 3000 mm
therefore use, bf= 1200 mm
Effective depth d= 300 mm
Total depth h= 550 mm

FACTORS:

Ø= 0.9
0.85 if fc'<28MPa
β= 0.821
if fc'>28MPa

STEPS
I. solve for Mu:

where:
=
= 536.578 KN-m

II. Assume that the entire flange is in compression & solve for Mu1:

if Mu₁>Mu, then a<t

= 734.400 KN-m > Mu if Mu₁<Mu, then a>t
therefore the Compressive force is w/in the flange
III. a<t, compressive force is on the flange

solve for a:
[Mu=∅.85fc'abf(d-a/2)]
a= 531.232 mm therefore use, a = 68.768
= 68.768 mm
T = C: �_𝑠/

[Mu = Mu₁ + Mu₂]

Mu₂ = Mu - Mu₁ = 0 KN-m

[ Mu₂ = Ø.85fc'zbw(d'-z/2)] where, d' = (d - t)= 0

z= 0.000 mm
= 0.000 mm therefore use, z= 0
