You have a slightly curved roof. Line between supports may or may not be horizontal, but the roof has a rise and it is curved with a hump.
In deflection checks, without intended pre-camber, how should one evaluate deflection value?Is the hump to be considered a pre-camber? If yes, what would be the criterion for the amount of natural pre-camber, given unknown or nonhorizontal line between supports?
A reference to AISC or any other code will be appreciated.
