Check the minimum beam depth requirement of ACI 318-14 (Table 9.3.1.1) to waive deflection computations.
Using the minimum depth for non-prestressed beams in Table 9.3.1.1.
(For cantilever beams) | ACI 318-14 (Table 9.3.1.1) |
Therefore, since hmin = 12.5 in. < h = 24 in. the preliminary beam depth satisfies the minimum depth requirement, and the beam deflection computations are not required.
The width of the rectangular section (b) may be chosen in the following range:
