T-Beam Modeling v. Slabs
T-Beam Modeling v. Slabs
(OP)
I have a one-way slab spanning between joists spaced at about 10' on center. ACI limits the effective width of my t-beam flange to something less than that. Therefore, my flanges do not touch one another at adjacent joists. If I apply a slab over the whole floor, then I am double counting my dead load in places where the slab and the t-beam joist below coincide... Any help as to how I should be modeling this accurately? Thank you in advance.
