Basic span-to-effective-depth ratio, N from Table 15.10. (Concise EC2), for and fck Factor K from Table 15.11. (Concise EC2), for beam type beff/bw beff = bw for rectangular sections
Factor F1 from Table 15.12. (Concise EC2), for flanged beam geometry. Factor F2 = 1 for non brittle partitions over a 7m+ span Service stress, s = 435(Gk + 0.3Qk /1.35Gk + 1.5Qk)(As req /As prov)
