About Beam Deflection
Beam deflection analysis determines how much a beam will bend under applied loads, critical for structural safety and serviceability.
Applications:
- Building design verification
- Bridge engineering
- Machine structure design
- Material selection
- Safety factor calculation
Key Formulas
Design Guidelines
• Common deflection limit: L/250 for live loads
• L/360 for floors supporting non-structural elements
• Increase moment of inertia to reduce deflection
• Consider dynamic loading effects
• Check both strength and serviceability limits
