Aug 3, 2001 · Dougantholz - It seems that deflection limits are up to the engineer who is designing, and not to exceed the limits set forth in code (l/240, l/360, l/600, etc.). Lets just say …

Feb 1, 2013 · The proper Global deflection limit to use also has to do with what is on the roof as a roofing material - this looks like a rafter/beam situation is why I mention it. If the roof is tile, …

Oct 21, 2009 · Deflection criteria are put in place for a variety of reasons, including aesthetics, limiting cracks, mitigation of creep, and to force sections to be more resistant to "dynamic" …

Feb 16, 2022 · Hi, Consider the case of a cantilever frame as seen in the attached picture. When you consider the roof beam as an individual beam with one end fixed, I consider the vertical …

May 5, 2021 · The load is transferred to the beams in proportion to their flexural stiffness, so the total deflection is the same as a single beam with the sum of the two beams stiffness values.

Oct 4, 2019 · It depends what the goal of the deflection limit is. For most deflection limits in structures, the end goal is either user comfort or preventing issues with non-structural …

The canadian steel code S16-09 limits lateral deflection of steel industrial buildings under wind load to H/200. Wondering if designers of pre-fab steel buildings use a more relaxed limit, and if …

Oct 8, 2021 · The slope deflection method would not be my choice, but it is a perfectly sound method. Since the structure and the loading are symmetrical, consider half the structure (from …

Mar 28, 2003 · I have a 2 story office building with a precast concrete panel band around the entire bldg at the second floor. Above and below is storefront. What would be a good vertical …

Jun 8, 2018 · Hi, I want to calculate the deflection of a beam (tube) with a uniform load that is applied over a length Ww. The tube is supported by two other (smaller) rolls (see layout in the …
