section serves as a 娀笄ange or compression member in resisting compressive stresses. Tee Section, also known as T beam or T bar, is a structural beam with a “T” shaped cross section. Tee section is generally made of plain carbon steel.A beam composed of a stem and a 娀笄ange in the form of a T; usually of reinforced concrete or rolled metal.
T beam Advantage
For spans larger than 4 m it o娀笄ers greater and signi鰀攄cantly more resistance compared to rectangular beam. Simply T beam will reduce rebar requirement. We can save 9 to 20 percent reinforcement as compared to rectangular beam. Required depth of beam will also reduce, as 娀笄ange or web will contribute against sagging moment.
T beam Disadvantage
Calculations will become headache for structure engineer, drafting for draftsmen, and bar bending for foremen. T beam may require links on top 娀笄ange, which a foremen would never like. Savings for lesser steel is countered by extra bar bending work.
