Hello The embedded beam is practically doing nothing due to the lack of difference in stiffness between the slab and the beam. Adding more rebars in the embedded beam will not make the beam stiff enough to carry loads from the slab. Thanks. ------------------------------ Sayed Attaalla PhD, P.E., ...

Hello Based on some analytical research I have done a while ago comparing traditional manual methods and finite element results for slab analysis, I found that in order for the slab to behave similar to the manual assumptions and hence the beams to carry loads close to hand calculations, the beam depth ...
