Analysis Procedure of T-beams based on NSCP 2015

T-BEAMS
Reinforced concrete floor system
normally consists of slabs and beams
that 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.

Procedures in Analysis of T-beams

1. Assume steel yields 𝑓𝑠 = 𝑓𝑦 , and compute the area of compression

Area of compression flange, 𝐴𝑓 = 𝑏𝑓 𝑡𝑓
If 𝐴𝑐 < 𝐴𝑓 , 𝑎 < 𝑡, → Proceed to Step #2
If 𝐴𝑐 > 𝐴𝑓 , 𝑎 > 𝑡, → Proceed to Step #3

Problem #1.
A T-beam for a floor system has a slab thickness of 120 mm and a web thickness
of 250 mm. It has a span of 5 m and the clear distance to adjacent beams is 3 m.
