Depth of Light Beams Calculator

Depth of Beam - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Beam is the overall depth of the cross-section of the beam perpendicular to the axis of the beam.
Length of Span - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Span refers to the length of the opening above which the beam is spanning.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Span: 10.01 Meter --> 10.01 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_B = I_n/15 --> 10.01/15

Evaluating ... ...

D_B = 0.667333333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.667333333333333 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.667333333333333 ≈ 0.667333 Meter <-- Depth of Beam

Moment Resistance of Steel given Steel Ratio

Go Moment Resistance of Steel = Tensile Stress in Steel*Steel Ratio*Ratio of Distance between Centroids*Width of Beam*(Effective Depth of Beam)^2

Stress in Steel given Cross-Sectional Reinforcing Tensile Area to Beam Area Ratio

Go Stress in Compressive Steel = Bending Moment/(Modular Ratio for Elastic Shortening*Constant j*Width of Beam*Depth of Beam^2)

Moment Resistance of Steel given Stress and Area

Go Moment Resistance of Steel = (Tensile Stress in Steel*Area of Steel required*Ratio of Distance between Centroids*Effective Depth of Beam)

Stress in Concrete

Go Stress in Concrete = 2*Bending Moment/(Constant k*Constant j*Width of Beam*Depth of Beam^2)

Stress in Steel

Go Stress in Compressive Steel = Moment in Structures/(Area of Tension Reinforcement*Constant j*Depth of Beam)

Bending Moment given Stress in Concrete

Go Bending Moment = (Stress in Concrete*Constant k*Width of Beam*Depth of Beam^2)/2

Depth of Heavy Beams and Girders

Go Depth of Beam = (Length of Span/12)+(Length of Span/10)

Depth of Roof and Floor Slabs

Go Depth of Beam = Length of Span/25

Depth of Light Beams

Go Depth of Beam = Length of Span/15

Depth of Light Beams Formula

Depth of Beam = Length of Span/15
D_B = I_n/15

Define Beam?

A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally to the beam's axis. Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending. The loads applied to the beam result in reaction forces at the beam's support points. The total effect of all the forces acting on the beam is to produce shear forces and bending moments within the beams, that in turn induce internal stresses, strains and deflections of the beam.

How to Calculate Depth of Light Beams?
