A cantilever beam of size 230 × 400 mm (effective) has a clear span of 25 m and is supported on a 400 × 400 mm column. The effective span of the cantilever is-
25.2 m
Method Effective Span Calculation Result (m) Clear span + d/2 25 \, m + 400 \, mm / 2 25.2 m Clear span + Support width / 2 25 \, m + 400 \, mm / 2 25.2 m Since both calculations yield the same result, 25.2 m, the effective span of the cantilever beam is 25.2 m.
