Deflection
Deflection
(OP)
Hi.
I am working on a task which requires me finding the maximum allowed deflection on an HE240B beam. The beam is 10 meters long with a support at 5 meters. I have found the formula on how much it will deflect, but need to know how much it is allowed to deflect.
Thanks

RE: Deflection
I think the key word here is "allowed". This generally is not determined by calculation. Your boss tells you what is allowed, or there is a standard somewhere telling you what is allowed.
Is this mechanical engineering, or is it civil and structural? There may be some building codes you need to have explained you.
