Concrete T-Beam Designer


Beam Geometries:
total height of the beam + slab h= 28 in
width of the beam b= 12 in
cover cov = 3.5 in
distance to rebar d= 24.5 in
Thickness of the slab ts = 5 in

Concrete Properties:
Strength of the Steel fy = 60000 psi
Strength of the Concrete fc' = 3000 psi
Stress Block Ratio β1 = 0.85
Strength Reduction Factor Φ= 0.9
Steel in Member As = 4.74 in2

Location Properties
Total length of beam L= 72 in Equations Used:
