ALLOWABLE DEFLECTIONS

THE FACTORS ARE DISCUSSED AFFECTING THE DEFLECTION OF REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING THEM ALL INTO CONSIDERATION FOR AN ACCURATE ESTIMATE OF DEFLECTION IS EMPHASIZED. INCLUDES A TABLE WITH AN EXTENSIVE LIST OF SITUATIONS REQUIRING DEFLECTION LIMITATIONS. THESE ARE BASED ON L/D RATIONS AND ABSOLUTE VALUES APPLIED TO THE TOTAL OR INCREMENTAL DEFLECTIONS. DISCUSSES THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PARAMETERS AFFECTING THE L/D RATIOS AS AN INDIRECT LIMIT ON DEFLECTIONS. PRESENTS FORMULAS AND GRAPHS FOR L/D AND GIVES EXAMPLES FOR THEIR USE. THE REPORT IS DIVIDED INTO FIVE CHAPTERS: INTRODUCTION, COMPUTATION OF DEFLECTIONS, ALLOWABLE DEFLECTIONS, ALLOWABLE SPAN/DEPTH RATIOS, AND CORRELATION WITH ACTUAL BUILDING STRUCTURES. /ACI/
