Deflection Limits (TS500)

  • Deflection limits are determined by the user.

  • The deflection limits determined by the user are automatically controlled on slabs and beams.


Notation

ln = Span length of beam or one-way slab


Allowable maximum deflections for flexural members are given in TS500 Table 13.3.
