Effective flange width for a box girder a) Considering mid-span first i. For cantilever portion, l0 = 0.7l2 ,where beff,i= 0.2bi + 0.1l0< 0.2l0 ii. For internal flange, beff,i= 0.2bi + 0.1l0< 0.2l0 where bi for internal flange = bi/2 *Also compare with the available width of internal flange, bi for internal flange = bi/2. If bi/2 is less than than the calculated at i and ii, so the least value will be taken. iii. Make Conclusion. (compare with available width)

b) Considering the supports i. l0 = 0.15(l1+ l2) ii. The cantilever portion has effective width given by : beff,i= 0.2bi + 0.1l0< 0.2l0 iii. Similarly, the internal flange associated with the web has effective width : beff,i= 0.2bi + 0.1l0< 0.2l0 ; bi for internal flange = bi/2 iv. Finally, the total width of flange acting with an outer web is: beff,i= beff,I + bw iv. Make Conclusion.
