Beam and Joist Deflection Summary

This output provides a listing of the deflections and camber for every gravity beam and Standard Joist in the model. The output includes:

  • The beam ID number
  • The beam or joist size
  • Initial, post composite live, post composite total, and total load deflection for unshored composite construction
  • Dead, live, and total load deflection for noncomposite and shored composite construction
  • Beam camber

Criteria used to determine camber, including the percent of Construction Dead Load used (or total dead for noncomposite and shored composite construction), the camber increment, and the minimum camber (the smallest deflection for which a camber will be specified) can be obtained from the Beam Design Criteria report.
