Importance of control of deflection:
The structural concrete members shall designed to
have adequate stiffness to limit deflections, which may adversely affect the
strength or serviceability of the structure at working loads.
Suitable control on deflection is very essential for
the following reasons:
·
Excessive, sagging of principal structural
members is not only unsightly, but at times, also renders the floor unsuitable
for the intended use.
·
Large deflections under dynamic effects
and under the influence of variable loads may cause discomfort to the users.
· Excessive deflections are likely to cause damage to finishes, partitions and associated structures.
