Özet:Most of the reinforced concrete systems are monolithic. During construction, concrete from the bottom of the deepest beam to the top of slab, is placed at once. Therefore the slab serves as the top flange of the beams. Such a beam is referred to as T-beam. In a floor system made of T-beams, the compressive stress is a maximum over the web, dropping between the webs. The distribution of compressive stress on the flange depends on the relative dimensions of the cross section, span length, support and loading conditions. For simplification, the varying distribution of compressive stress can be replaced by an equivalent uniform distribution. This gives us an effective flange width, which is smaller than the real flange width. In various codes there are recommendations for effective flange width formulas. But these formulas are expressed only in terms of span length or flange and web thicknesses and ignore the other important variables. In this thesis, three-dimensional finite element analysis has been carried out on continuous T-beams under different loading conditions to assess the effective flange width based on displacement criterion. The formulation is based on a combination of the elementary bending theory and the finite element method, accommodating partial interaction in between. The beam spacing, beam span length, total depth of the beam, the web and the flange thicknesses are considered as independent variables. Depending on the type of loading, the numerical value of the moment of inertia of the transformed beam crosssection and hence the effective flange width are calculated. The input data and the finite element displacement results are then used in a nonlinear regression analysis and two explicit design formulas for effective flange width have been derived. Comparisons are made between the proposed formulas and the ACI, Eurocode, TS-500 and BS-8110 code recommendations.
