Answer / pvsnrao
Let us take, b = bredth of the beam
D = Overall depth of the beam.
Effective depth = overall depth-effective cover
effective cover = the distance from botttom of fibre of the
beam to the centre of reinforcement.
Clear cover = the distance from the bottom of fibre to
bottom level of the reinforcement

Answer / mustafa mohd layeak
In beam of b*D dimension. considering bottom section of beam
effective cover is the distance between centre of main
bottom longitudinal rebar to the concrete extreme fibre
(bottom edge of beam).
clear cover is distance between concrete extreme fibre and
bottom edge of a stirrup
Similarly at the top section of beam

Answer / joydeep dhar
Nominal cover means clear distance between face of concrete and face of main outer rebar, whereas effective cover means center of rebar to outside of concrete face, so Nominal cover < effective cover. viz. if 20 dia steel is used and nominal cover is 40mm then, effective cover will be (40+(20/2))= 50mm

Clear cover is the distance between C.G of reinforcement bars and bottom most point of concrete.
Whereas ominal cover is the end to end distance of r/f bars and botom most point of concrete.
