Span to depth ratio
Span to depth ratio
(OP)
I was asked to make a quick analysis of a small single storey structure to ascertain if a second floor could be constructed on top of it.
However I found that the span to depth ratio of one of the panels was slightly greater than the limit.
Can you offer me some advice as to whether this is significant or what can be done to rectify this problem?
(Other elements in the stucture seem adequate.)

You need to look at the structure and its usage in this light before accepting a floor whose span/depth ratio is too large.
