Q.

For initial estimate for a beam design, the width is assumed?

A. 1/10th of span
B. 1/30th of span
C. 1/15th of span
D. 1/5th of span
Answer» B. 1/30th of span
Explanation: design codes prescribe beam width limitations to minimise the shear lag effect on the formation of full-width plastic hinges and achieving the expected capacity. however, owing to insufficient experimental and analytical studies, empirical design formulas for the beam width limitation, with
