Q: According to IS 456:2000, for a cantilever beam the effective length of the cantilever shall be taken as.
  • A. clear span of the beam + half the effective depth
  • B. clear span of the beam + half the width of the support
  • C. clear span of the beam + width of the support
  • D. clear span of the beam + effective depth
Correct Answer: Option A - : According to IS 456:2000, effective length– (1) Cantilever–The effective length of a cantilever beam shall be taken as its length to the face of support (clear span) plus half the effective depth of the beam. or • The clear span plus half the width of the discontinuous support, whichever is less.
