Concrete Beam Deflection

Any beams that are still red at this point have some other kind of warning.

  • Select Process > View/Update.
  • Pick the center girder on Grid 5.
  • Click on the Deflections tab.

Here the table lists the controlling deflection criteria. The first and long spans of the beam line are all within the long term deflection limits set in the deflection criteria.

To see the deflection ratios for all beams at once:

  • Select Process > Results > Deflections.

The screen will be updated to display the deflection using a color scale. The graphic can also be set to show Span to deflection ratio, Effective moment of Inertia or Deflection ratio.

  • Click [Close] when finished.
  • Select View > Reset Model to clear the screen.
