Description
Summary:Whether the design is done manually or by software, the designer will have difficulty choosing the economic and strength cross section. The designer, in this case, either relies on their experience or resorts to the method of trial and error. Especially for Cantilever beams with a long span as a result of risk deflections, it is exposed. The current theoretical study was performed on rectangular concrete cross sections of different dimensions and subjected to uniformly distributed loads. Based on a previous study, the sections are reinforced with a specific reinforcement ratio. Through an algorithm, Python 3.4 software, and an output file, the permissible deflections for each cross section were calculated according to the ACI 318M-19. Finally, the authors could draw a graph to choose the appropriate cross section for each required beam length in less time and effort.
