Deflection

Step 1) Determine the service load : WS = 𝐷 + 𝐿

We want to apply the following formulas:
ln2 5 |𝑀1 + 𝑀2 |
∆i = ( 𝑀𝑚 − )
𝐸𝐶 𝐼𝑒 48 96
With:

EC = 4700√fC′ (MPa)
MCr 3 MCr 3
Ie (average) = ( ) × Ig + (1 − ( ) ) × ICr ≤ Ig
Ma Ma

M1 , M2 ∶Moment at support A et B using ACI Coefficients

Mm : Moment at Mid Span

Ma : support or Location
Ig ∶Moment of inertia of the gross unckracked section

2) For a monolithic section T or L:
bw h3
a) At support : Ig = (rect. Section analysis)
12
b) At mid span :Take Ig = Ix (Table α or β for T or L sections)

Icr: Moment of inertia of the cracked section transformed to concrete.

AS /AS ′ ∶Tension/Compression Steel Quantity.

"c" is where the n.a passes.

C?

a) For a rectangular section or (T or L at supports) use the equation:

bw c 2
(d
nAS − c) = + (n − 1)AS ′(c − d′)

b) For a T or L section (mid-span) use the equation:
bc 2
= nAS (d − c)
