So with this, what is the width of the half middle strips given unequal span lengths?

Sahla said:   3 years ago
1 column strip =L/4.
There are 2 column strips on one side.
So we take column strips=2 * L/4=L/2.
So, the given is the correct answer.

@Madhu.

The question is not asking about drop panel.

Here clearly mention column strip Same as in clause 31.1.1 a) of IS 456. So, I think A is the correct option.

As per 1956:2000.

The effective width of a column strip of a flat slab is taken as half the width of the panel.

Devid said:   6 years ago
I agree, option B is correct.

Answer is correct. Refer 31.2.2, it is half the width of panel (drop panel), not slab width.
