With how often spreader beams are used on site, many know quite a bit about the difference in both application and construction of a spreader beam and traditional lifting beams. Here are nine things ...
Hi, I want to understand what deflection criteria I need to design to in a case where I have a rigid point (Core) with a beam at mid span adjacent and the minimum span over / gradient. Is there any guidance on it in Eurocode? Thanks
Hi there, I am struggling with working out maximum deflection in a beam. It has two point loads, at L/4 on each side and a distributed load at L/2. I know max deflection for a distributed load but I am not sure how I calculate both at the same time. Do I have to treat this problem as...
I'm looking for a standard that defines deflection limits for overhang beams. To define what I mean here by overhang beam, please refer to this image. This post contains some mentions of max deflection of L/180, L/240, L/360, L/600 and other figures. This seems to me to apply to fixed-fixed...
Is there a code reference for allowable deflection in a soldier pile retaining wall? It's about 13' tall with 3x8 lagging, holding back sands. The use of...
I have a 2 story office building with a precast concrete panel band around the entire bldg at the second floor. Above and below is storefront. What would be a good vertical deflection criteria for the adjacent floor beams that support these panels? I usually keep L/600 for masonry in this situation.
