About this document
T and L Beam Design Fundamentals by Kshitija is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses T beams and L beams, which are reinforced concrete beams with a wider top portion to take advantage of the stress distribution in a beam. T beams have the slab cast monolithically with an intermediate web, while L beams are used at the ends with the slab on one side. Advantages include increased durability, reduced beam depth, and larger spans. Disadvantages include poor shear and seismic resistance at the slab-beam junction. Two sample problems are included to demonstrate the design
