    How to calculate Effective Flange width of non-prismatic members

    dhengr, Thank you for the elaborate explanation. I am using the effective flange width to model beams in SAP2000 in order for the software to consider the actual stiffness of the beam. I agree that we can take advantage of the full span to calculate effective width in case L/4 or w+L/12 govern...

    How to calculate Effective Flange width of non-prismatic members

    Thank you Rapt! Is there a wording in the ACI-318 or is the full span length used as a good practice?

    How to calculate Effective Flange width of non-prismatic members

    Hello, I have a beam spanning 60'. From 0'-41' there is slab on both sides of the beam, but from 41'-60' slab is present only on one side of the beam. Hence this beam would be a non-prismatic member with a T-flange 0'-41' and L-flange 41'-60'. My question is, if checking the span/4 condition...
