Calculate Beam Length (BEL)





Formula

The formula to calculate the beam length is:

\[ BEL = ED + \frac{D}{2} + CS \]

What is Beam Length?

Beam length is a measure used in structural engineering to determine the total length of a beam, taking into account the effective depth, the diameter of the reinforcing bar, and the clear cover size. This calculation is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity and stability of constructions.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the beam length:

\[ BEL = 500 + \frac{20}{2} + 50 = 500 + 10 + 50 = 560 \]

The beam length is 560 mm.
