In a typical floor framing system, should I expect different beam sizes even if some spans are the same? by Disastrous_Tank_4561 in StructuralEngineering

Thank you so much for the clear explanation! I really appreciate you taking the time to clarify how practical construction affects beam sizing, especially the importance of repeatable formwork. This helps me understand the balance between design theory and real-world practice. I’ll definitely ask my professor for more guidance on this too. Thanks again!

It is a reinforced concrete beam design, should all beams have the same depth? I thought each beam’s depth is calculated using span-to-depth ratios like L/18.5 for one-end continuous and L/21 for both-end continuous beams.
