Overview
For this lesson, we will be discussing what are the
design considerations, steps and process on analyzing
and designing a T-shaped beam reinforced or T-Beams.

PROBLEM 1
A reinforced concrete T-beam has an effective depth of 600 mm and
is reinforced with 8 – 32 mm bars. The web width is 300mm and has
a flange thickness of 90 mm. The beam has a span of 5.8 m and has a
center to center spacing of 1.5 m. f’c = 21 MPa and fy = 415 MPa.
a) Determine the effective flange width
b) Determine the depth of stress block
c) Determine the ultimate moment capacity of the beam

PROBLEM 2
A T-beam for a floor system has a slab thickness of 75 mm and a web
thickness of 375 mm. It has an effective depth of 600 mm. The beam
carries a dead load moment of 270 kN.m and a live load moment of
523 kN.m. It has a span of 5.4 m and a c.c. spacing of 1.8 m. Use f’c =
20.7 MPa, fy = 344.7 MPa and ϕ=0.90.
a) Determine the effective flange width
b) Determine the depth of stress block
c) Determine the total steel reinforcement
