Deflection for visibility
Deflection for visibility
(OP)
Hi,
I have a 10-ft beam span under uniform loading, supporting visual screens (projection similar to monitors). Deflection is at L/1000 and I want to know if this will be visible to end users at 20~40 ft away. For non building structures without specific deflection limit, what would be typial slpe that will be bsible to others? Thank you.

RE: Deflection for visibility
Do the screen suppliers give recommended deflection limits?

I'd go for L/800 which is what bridges are limited to in AASHTO.
