How to determine support bearing surface length?
(OP)
Hi there,
How would you go about calculating a suitable length for the bearing area of a slab, as shown in the diagram? For clarity the slab shown in the image is connected to a down-stand beam.

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.

Not sure what you mean by slab is "connected" to a down-stand beam?
