SLS Deflection verification


The deflection calculation of reinforced concrete elements is not as
straightforward as for timber or steel structures. However, according
to Eurocode EN 1992-1-1 the deflection requirement is likely to be
satisfied if the span – effective depth ratio is less than the values given
in EN 1992-1-1 Table 7.4N.
