11. ANALYSIS
For analyzing the capacity of a T beam with
known concrete dimensions and tensile steel
area, it is reasonable to start with the
assumption that the stress block depth a does not
exceed the flange thickness. In that case, all
ordinary rectangular beam equations apply, with
the beam width taken equal to the effective width
of the flange. If, upon checking the assumption, a
proves to exceed (hf) , then T beam analysis must
be applied (slides 8,9,10).
