Clicking the 'Select' button of any other row in the table will launch the concrete beam calculation with the T-Beam geometry shown in that row.Īs discussed in Rectangular Beam Sections - Joined, the table always includes an option to skip T-Beam behavior.
Using the 'Select' button on the row marked 'Skip' and 'No T-Beam' will launch the calculation as a rectangular beam without any Tee geometry. When the calculation launch process reaches the 'Section Geometry' tab, the user will be informed that the beam IS eligible for design as a T-Beam. If the beam and slab are not joined, the launched process will behave as described in Rectangular Beam Sections - Unjoined.Īn example of a concrete beam joined to a slab was previously illustrated in Rectangular Beam Sections - Joined: Concrete beam calculations may be launched with T-Beam geometry IF AND ONLY IF the beam and slab have been joined to each other.
