Notes:
1. For typical cross sections ( f, g (sufficiently connected to act as a unit)). Table 4.6.2.2.1-1
2. If there are mixed beam types in the interior, then this calculation should be completed for each beam type.
3. When the Span Length is greater than 100ft for Beams 4B40 and 5B40, use Beams 4B40+100 and 5B40+100 respectively.
4. Beam spacing is based on the bottom width of the beam plus the joint width.
5. Overhang width is from the center of the beam to the edge of the slab. The default value is based on 1/2 the top width of the beam.
6. The design beam width equals the width of the bottom flange. For box beams topped by a concrete slab, the slab width equals the Effective Flange
Width (EFW) as calculated below.

Where, Ao is the area enclosed by the centerlines of the elements that make up the thin-walled structure, s is the
element lengths, and t is the element thicknesses (see diagrams below for a graphical representation of these
variables).
For the calculation of J, the shear key is ignored, and the Box Beam cross section is simplifed to an open box with
dimensions equaling d (height) and bfb - 2x (width).
