T-BEAM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
BY
Dr. MOHAMMED ZUHEAR AL-MULALI
Ms. MAYADAH WAHEED FALAH
, T-BEAMS ACCORDING TO ACI CODE 8-10
• Reinforced concrete floors, roofs, decks, etc. are almost always
monolithic
• Forms are built for beam soffits, and sides and for the
underside of the slab are cast at once, from the bottom of the
deepest beam to the top of slab.
• Beams stirrups and bent bars extend upwards towards the slab;
therefore, a part of the slab will work with the top of the beam
to resist longitudinal compression.
• The resulting beam is a T-shaped beam rather than a
rectangular beam.
• The slab forms the beam’s flange, and the part extending
downwards from the slab is called the web or stem.
