Deflection Induced Moments in Struts BS5950
Deflection Induced Moments in Struts BS5950
(OP)
Does anyone know of any guidance given in BS5950 (or anywhere else) about the level of deflection in struts (say horizontal roof bracing) before I have to add extra moment due to compression in the member acting a distance from the original centreline of the member.

It shows that deflection due to self weight is significant for effective lengths between 2 to 4 m, for the SHS sizes shown.
Capacity design was done to AS4100.
