What is the meaning of effective length of beam?
Effective length of beam shall be define as the smaller of the distance between the centre of bearing support or the clear span between two supports + effective depth of beam.
What is meant by effective length of slab?
The distance between the centers of support, or the clear distance between supports plus the effective depth of the beam or slab, the lesser value being taken.
What is the effective length of column having one end fixed and other hinged?
Various k Factors and Column Effective Length
Sr.No. | Column Postion | Effective Length Factor |
---|---|---|
1. | Both End Fixed. | k = 0.5 |
2. | One End Pinned Joint and One End Fixed Joint. | k = 0.7 |
3. | Both End Pinned Joint. | k = 1.0 |
4. | One end Fixed Joint and One End Free. | k = 2.0 |
What is the value of effective length for column with one end fixed and other hinged?
What is the effective length when one end of compression member is fixed and other end is hinged? Explanation: The effective length of compression member when one end is fixed and other end is hinged is 0.8L, where L is the length of the member.
What does effective span mean?
What is the effective length of slab?
The effective span of the cantilever beam or slab is taken as: Length of overhang plus half the effective depth. Except where it forms the end of a continuous beam where the length up to the centre of support is taken.
What is the effective span length?
What is the equivalent length of a column?
The equivalent or effective length is defined as the distance between two adjacent points of contra flexure on the column. The point of contra flexure is defined as the point on the column where the there is a change in the direction of the axis of the column. It is the point where there is maximum bending moment experienced by the column.
What is the unsupported length of the column?
The unsupported length (l) of the column is defined as the length of a particular column which is measured as the length between two lateral supports . Effective length (l eff) of column is a parameter which is related to the load carrying capacity of the column member.
What is the slenderness ratio of a column?
Slenderness ratio of column is basically defined as the ratio of effective length of the column to the least radius of gyration. Slenderness ratio will be given in numbers because it is one ratio and hence slenderness ratio will not have any unit. In designing of structure, slenderness ratio plays a very important role.
What is effective length?
Effective length is a critical concept in Structural Design which relates to ‘the length of a component which is effectively restrained’. When designing structural members they can be subject to a number of forces such as Shear, Tension, Compression, Torsion and combinations of these to name but a few.
