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 …

Jul 2, 2019 · Deflection in beam design implies relatively slow (nearly static) deflection of a beam. A beam subjected to vibrations means that you need to be looking into a dynamic or vibration …

Apr 27, 2009 · I have been pondering allowable deflection limits for our residential design standards for high-end residential *FLOORS BEAMS*(wood framed with LVL, glu-lam, and …

Oct 21, 2025 · Here is the complete solution for the given beam deflection question, solved using the double integration method. The attached pages show the full derivation, step-by-step …

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 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 …

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 6, 2003 · The allowable deflection can be different for diff structures as already pointed out by the earlier replies. My own experience shows that for piles with a long unsupported length, …

Feb 25, 2002 · The deflection of the steel beam only needs to be limited to l/360 if there are brittle finishes which may crack. (ie laster etc) i would normally limit the delfection of a steel beam …

Aug 24, 2022 · If you get 1" deflection at the post, what is the deflection at top, mid-span on the fence panel? What is the post anchored to, and how likely is the long moment arm of the post …
