How to find depth and breadth for beam

According to the IS-456 2000 code we can find depth and breadth of beam easy way need few requirement like length of beam according to length of beam we can find out depth and breadth of beam.


Depth of beam = length of beam/20

Example:
           A beam length 5m find out the depth and breadth of beam.
Solution:-
           Given
                       L= 5m

 Depth of beam = length of beam/20 m
                             = L/20 m
                             = 5/20 m
                             = 0.25 m
                             = 250 mm

Breadth of beam = depth of beam/1.5
                                = 250/1.5 mm
                                = 166.67 mm
                                = 170 mm

According to this example you can find out depth and breadth of beam easily. You can watch also below link
