- See also Setup Load cases: - LC 1: Own Weight - LC 2: Permanent Load: surface load 5 kN/m Results: De effective width is a approach out of the standard, where the beam and plate are replaced by a t-formed section for the design of reinforcement. By selecting the option rib the forces in the beam are higher. This higher forces come from the total Tsection.
