The effective width of a reinforced concrete $$T$$-beam flange under compression, according to $$IS:456$$ - $$1978,$$ given $${l_0}$$ is the distance between the adjacent zero moment points, $$b$$ is the breadth of the rib and $$D$$ is the thickness of the flange, is

A floor slab of thickness, $$t$$ is cast monolithically transverse to a rectangular continuous beam of span $$L$$ and width $$B.$$ If the distance between two consecutive points of contraflexure is $${L_0},$$ the effective width of compression flange at a continuous support is

The cross-section at mid-span of a beam at the edge of a slab is shown in the sketch. $$A$$ portion of the slab is considered as the effective flange width for the beam. The grades of concrete and reinforcing steel are $$M25$$ and $$Fe415,$$ respectively. The total area of reinforcing bars $$\left( {{A_{st}}} \right),$$ is $$\,4000\,\,m{m^2}.$$ At the ultimate limit state, $${x_u}$$ denotes the depth of the neutral axis from the top fibre. Treat the section as under-reinforced and flanged $$\left( {{x_u} > 100\,\,mm} \right).$$

The value of $${{x_u}}$$ (in $$mm$$) computed per the Limit State Method of $$IS$$ $$456:2000$$ is

An isolated $$T$$ beam is used as a walkway. The beam is simply supported with an effective span of $$6$$ $$m.$$ The effective width of flange, for the cross-section shown in figure, is

A hall is covered by a beam and slab system with beams placed at $$3.0$$ $$m$$ center. The effective span of the beam is $$8.35$$ $$m.$$ The thickness of the slab is $$120$$ $$mm.$$ The size of the beam below the slab is $$230$$ $$mm$$ width and $$380$$ $$mm$$ depth. The beam is reinforced with two numbers of $$32$$ $$mm$$ diameter steel rods of grade $$415\,\,N/m{m^2}.$$ Compute the Maximum total load/$$m$$ run, the beam can carry, including its own weight at service stage. Grade of concrete is $$M$$ $$25.$$
