Deflection in SAFE

The document discusses deflection limits and load combinations for structural slabs. It examines total deflection under several load combinations to meet the L/250 deflection limit, as well as long-term deflection under different load combinations to meet the L/500 limit. Assumptions are made about percentages of sustained live and superimposed dead loads. The document provides instructions for assigning uniform and additional reinforcement to slabs and references performing cracking analysis of slabs.

TOTAL DEFLECTION L/250 IN SAFE 12

COMB-250-1 DL+SDL+LL CRACKED


COMB-250-2 DL+SDL+0.2LL CRACKED
COMB-250-3 DL+SDL+0.2LL CRACKED + LONG-TERM
LOAD COMBINATION
L/250 = 1 – 2 + 3

Total Deflection δTL= δD + λ∞δD + δL + λ∞δ0.2L

LONG-TERM DEFLECTION L/500 IN SAFE 12


(This is normally referred to as deflection that happens after installing partitions)
COMB-500-1 DL+SDL+0.2LL CRACKED
COMB-500-2 0.4SDL+LL CRACKED
COMB-500-3 DL+SDL+0.2LL CRACKED + LONG-TERM
LOAD COMBINATION
L/500 = -1 + 2 + 3

Long-term Deflection δTL = δ0.4SDL + λ∞ (δDL + δSDL) + δLL + λ∞δ0.2LL

ASSUMPTION IS THAT 60% OF SDL WILL BE APPLIED BEFORE CONNECTING


PARTITIONS. 20% OF LIVE LOAD IS CONSIDERED AS SUSTAINED.
