Introduction
Rectangular beams are generally cast
monolithically with concrete slab, forming
composite action between the slab and the
beams.

Code Requirement for T-Beams
Sect. 408.13.1
In T-beam construction, the flange and web shall be built integrally
or otherwise effectively bonded together.
Sect. 408.13.2
The width of slab effective as a T-beam shall not exceed ¼ of the
span of the beam, and the effective overhanging flange in each side
of the web shall not exceed:
a. 8 times the slab thickness;
b. ½ the clear distance to the next web.
Code Requirement for T-Beams
Sect. 408.13.3
For beams with slab on one side only, the effective overhanging
flange shall not exceed:
a. 1/12 span length of the beam;
b. 6 times the slab thickness;
c. ½ the clear distance to the next web.
Sect. 408.13.4
Isolated beams in which T-shape are used to provide a flange for
additional compression area shall have a flange thickness not less
than ½ the width of the web and an effective flange width not more
than four times the width of the web.

Steel Area Computation
III. For a > Tf
Mu = Mu1 + Mu2
Solve for z and As
Solve for ρmin and compare with
If >ρmin , design is OK

Design Procedures
Mu Computation
I. With fs = fy, compute the area of compression concrete Ac
Area of compression Flange, Af = BfTf
If Ac < Af, then a < Tf, Proceed to Step II
If Ac > Af, then a > Tf, Proceed to Step III
II. For a < Tf
Solve for a, Ac = Bf x a
Design Procedures
Mu Computation
Verify if steel yields
If fs > fy, then steel yields
If fs < fy, then steel does not yield
