Concept:

The effective length of compression flange for a cantilever beam as per

IS 800:2007, Clause No. 8.3.2, and Table No. 16:

So, A cantilever beam of span L is built-in at the support. It is restrained

against lateral deflection and torsion at the free end. The effective length of
compression flange for the beam as per IS 800  ∶ 2007 is "0.5L"
