Civil Engineering - RCC Structures Design - Discussion

In case of load on simply supported slab the effective length will be considered from the one edge to another edge of the slab because the slab is not continuous (in simply supported slab the ends will be considered as free or pinned But not fixed or continuous). So the whole length of the slab will be affected by the load. So the effective length of the slab is equal to internal wall to wall distance + the length of the slab which is mounted on the wall on both sides.

Yes, the right answer is C.

I too think that the right answer is option C.

C is the right answer as per IS 456:2000.

Answer is none of the above as to find out the effective span two calculations are required and smaller value will be treated as effective span.

Option A is correct. I agree.

The Correct answer is A.

A is the correct answer because in case of same bearing width you can apply this but it does not satisfy in case of different bearing width which was not mentioned in question can anyone discuss this?

D is the correct answer.

A is the correct answer.
