Normal beam + inverted beam
Normal beam + inverted beam
(OP)
There is mky question.
We have s concrete slab and 2 beams (marked in the picture below).
Im asking about the crossing (NODE) of two beams - one inverted and one normal? Is this common practice? Is it OK to do it like this?
What is important? any special detail/reinforcement?

- how deep is the upstand beam from the top of the beam to underside of slab?
- how thick is the slab?
- how much overlap (or) gap is there between beams.
A joint detail 90 degrees to the one that you've shown would be helpful.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

There is no GAP, inverted beam end above (over a top) dropped beam. So dropped beam take reaction from inverted beam.
- how deep is the upstand beam from the top of the beam to underside of slab? 30 cm
- how thick is the slab? 16 cm
- how much overlap (or) gap is there between beams. NONE
