Civil Engineering QUESTION #6645
Question 1
In a T-beam, if the neutral axis falls within the flange, the beam is analyzed as:
  • A rectangular beam with width equal to the flange width ($b_f$)✔️
  • A rectangular beam with width equal to the web width ($b_w$)
  • A special T-section using flange-web interaction
  • An over-reinforced section
Correct Answer Explanation
Since the concrete in tension is ignored, and the entire compression zone is within the flange, the shape of the concrete below the neutral axis (web vs flange) does not matter.
