Effective Flange Width [LRFD Art. 4.6.2.6.1]

Effective flange width is the lesser of

1 4 s p a n = 3300 4 = 8250 m m

12 ts + greater of (web thickness or 1/2 beam top flange width) is

( 12 × 190 + 0.5 × 1225 ) = 2892.5 m m

Average spacing between beams = 3600 mm

Therefore, the effective flange width is = 2892.5 mm

Modular Ratio Between Slab and Beam Materials

Modular ratio between slab and beam materials, n is

n = E c s E c = 26802.7 33978.6 = 0.7888

Transformed Section Properties

Transformed flange width = n (Effective flange width)

= (0.7888)(2892.5) = 2281.6 mm

Transformed flange area = n (Effective flange width)(ts)

= (0.7888)(2892.5)(190) = 433505 mm2

Note: Only the structural thickness of the deck, 190 mm, is considered.

Due to camber of the prestressed precast beam, a minimum haunch thickness of 10 mm, at midspan, is considered in the structural properties of the composite section. Also, the width of haunch must be transformed.

Transformed haunch width= (0.7888)(1225)= 966.28 mm

Transformed area of haunch= (0.7888)(1225)(10)= 9663 mm2
