T-Beam:
- In RCC construction, slabs and beams are cast monolithic-ally. In such construction, a portion of the slab act integrally with the beam and bends along with the beam under the loads.
- The flange of the beam (part of the slab) contributes in resisting compression by adding more area of concrete in compression zone. This results in increasing moment of resistance of the beam section.

Monolithic Beams |
T – Beams |
\({b_f} = {b_w} + \frac{{{l_o}}}{6} + 6{d_f}\) |
|
L – Beams |
\({b_f} = {b_w} + 0.5\left( {\frac{{{l_o}}}{6} + 6{d_f}} \right)\) |

Isolated Beams |
T – Beams |
\({b_f} = {b_w} + \frac{{{l_o}}}{{\frac{{{l_o}}}{b} + 4}}\) |
|
L – Beams |
\({b_f} = {b_w} + \frac{{0.5 \times {l_o}}}{{\frac{{{l_o}}}{b} + 4}}\) |

Where
bf = effective width of flange
lo = distance between points of zero moments in the beam
bw = breadth of the web
df = thickness of the flange
b = actual width of the flange
