Study Notes

Analysis of T-Beams (USD)

STEP 3: Check if steel reinforcements yield: fs = 600 and φ = 0.65 + 0.25 in the transition region
STEP 4: Determine the reduction factor: φ = 0.65 + 0.25 if fy < fs < 1000 or εy < εs < 0.005
STEP 5: Determine the moment capacity: Mu = φ(C or T) d - a/2

Analysis of Rectangular Beams (USD)

Derivation of formulas using stress-strain diagram:
- From the strain diagram: (εc / c) = (εs / d-c)
- From the stress diagram: C = T and fs = 600
Simplified formulas: fs = 600 and φ = 0.8528

Effective Flange Width (NSCP 2015)

Formula: bf = bw + 16tf or bf = bw + (s1^2 + s2^2) / 2 or bf = bw + Ln/4
Where: bw is the base of the web, bf is the base of the flange, tf is the flange thickness, s1 and s2 are the spacings of the beam web, and Ln is the clear beam length
