The elastic deflections of girders due to L.L. (without dynamic effect) shouldnt exceed:Category Railway bridges Roadway bridges Structural buildings Max allowable deflection L/800 L/600 L/300
L/800
To cancel the deflection due to dead load a cumber is done during the construction of the beams or trusses, where the structure will be have the required shape after erection. In case of suspension bridges the cumber is done by adding both the deflection due to D.L. and L.L. into consideration.
