Discussion on the Effective Flange Width of the Floor

Article Preview

Abstract:

To consider the contribution of the floor to the flexural capacity of frame beams, slabs are usually equivalent to floor "effective flange width" . However, there are no academia acknowledged conclusions about the value of effective flange width was drawn. This article introduced the theories about the calculation of "effective flange width" and studied the influence of node type to the value by comparing various MIDAS simulation models. Finally, we concluded suggested formulas after combining the analysis and experimental results.
