| Abstract | An analysis of T-beams by analyzing the flange according to thin plate theory and the beam rib by simple bending theory is proposed. Series solutions are obtained subject to typical, specified boundary conditions. Numerical solutions are obtained by the use of IBM 1130 digital computer. A simplified procedure for the
analysis of wide-flange T-beams whose L/b ratios are between 3.0 and 4,0 is suggested based on the results from the proposed theory. Four simply supported and two two-span continuous reinforced concrete beams were tested to verify the validity of the proposed theory. The experimental strains, hence stresses, and deflections were in good agreement with theoretical predictions in the pseudo elastic range and were intermediate between the predictions based on the complete concrete section and those ignoring concrete in tension. The CEB recommendations and German Specification for Highway Bridges both give effective widths in satisfactory agreement with the test results except the CEB recommendations overestimate those for
continuous beams |
