Tables-based design
The figure on the right shows how the
resistant moment and the position of the
neutral axis vary with the amount of
reinforcement, considering different
relations between the tension and the
compression reinforcement, b = As2/As1.

Tables-based design
k = x/d varies with the position of the
neutral axis and, therefore, it is a good
indicator of ductility.
b) For:
µ=0.30 b=0 Þ k=x/d @ 0.6 (low ductility)
µ=0.30 b=0.4 Þ k=x/d @ 0.3 (good ductility)
µ=0.40 b=0.4 Þ k=x/d @ 0.4 (adequate ductility)

In these cases, the stress distribution in the flanges is not uniform, and the
corresponding deformation is lower than in the web, due to the ‘shear lag’
effect, as illustrated in the picture below.

For flanges in compression, the effective width, bef, can be calculated using
the following expression:

Concrete Structures I
The effective width, bef, is obtained by adding to the web width, bw, a value,
befi, to each side of the web given by:
being bi half the distance between webs of adjacent beams and L0 the
distance between sections of null bending moment, the latter being
calculated according to the following figure:

For flanges in tension, the effective width, bef,, can be assumed as the web
width, bw, plus 4hf, being hf the flange height (or the slab thickness).

NOTE: if the neutral axis crosses the web, the design can be performed assuming a
T shape cross-section, considering the flange in compression and neglecting
the flange in tension.
