Is it possible to ask the optimal h_opt and minimal beam height h_min in Diamonds?

Unfortunately that’s not possible at the moment, but you can calculate it using the tool below (EN 1992-1-1:2002).

Material & Section Properties
N/mm²
Default value: 1.5

Loading & National Annex
kNm
Calculated Results
Fill in all input fields above to see the results.
Optimal effective depth dopt
\( d_\text{opt} = 2.51 \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{Ed,ULS}}{b \cdot \alpha_{cc} \cdot \dfrac{f_{ck}}{\gamma_c}}} \)
Optimal total height hopt
\( h_\text{opt} = d_\text{opt} + c \)
Minimum effective depth dmin
\( d_\text{min} = 1.78 \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{Ed,ULS}}{b \cdot \alpha_{cc} \cdot \dfrac{f_{ck}}{\gamma_c}}} \)
Minimum total height hmin
\( h_\text{min} = d_\text{min} + c \)
