Section Properties
Width of Comp. Face of Member, b = 1000 mm
Overall Height of The Member, h = 300 mm
Tension Reinforcement Cover, Ct = 50 mm
Compression Reinforcement Cover, Cc = 50 mm
Area of Tension Reinforcement, As = 2010 mm2
Area of compression reinforcement, As' = 2010 mm2
Ratio of Tension Reinforcement, ρ = 0.80%
Ratio of Compression Reinforcement, ρ' = 0.80%

Deflection (Δ mm)
Members likely to be damaged by large deflections Total Deflection = Δsustained + ΔLL - Δown = 15.41
Members not likely to be damaged by large deflections Total Deflection = Δsustained + ΔLL = 18.75
Deflection Check
Member Condition Deflection to be considered limitation
L /180[1] (mm)
Flat roofs Immediate deflection due to maximum of Lr, S and R OK
Not supporting or attached to nonstructural elements = 44.44
likely to be damaged by large deflections L /360 (mm)
Floors Immediate deflection due to LL OK
= 22.22
Likely to be damaged by L /480[3] (mm)
large deflections That part of the total deflection occurring after attachment of OK
Roof or Supporting or attached to nonstructural elements, which is the sum of the time-depen- = 16.67
floors nonstructural elements dent deflection due to all sustained loads and the immediate L/240[4] (mm)
Not likely to be damaged deflection due to any additional live load[2]
by large deflections
OK
= 33.33
[1]Limit not intended to safeguard against ponding. Ponding shall be checked by calculations of deflection, including added deflections due to ponded water, and
considering timedependent effects of sustained loads, camber, construction tolerances, and reliability of provisions for drainage.
[2]Time-dependent deflection shall be calculated in accordance with 24.2.4, but shall be permitted to be reduced by amount of deflection calculated to occur before
nonstructural elements. This amount shall be calculated on basis of accepted engineering data relating to time-deflection characteristics of members similar to those
being considered.
[3]Limit shall be permitted to be exceeded if measures are taken to prevent damage to supported or attached elements.
[4]Limit shall not exceed tolerance provided for nonstructural elements.
