Thank you.
So when we say relative deflection to the member itself. What if we take the entire roof as a ‘member’?
For example, if this is a 4m x 12m two way concrete slab on walls, we are not going to compare the 36mm deflection to the long span but the short one when doing the deflection...
I know typically we just check the deflection to its own length. But what is the reason we don’t check the deflection to the secondary members that connect to them?
I have this 12m long rafter supporting light weight roof (2m span) on one side and terrace on the other. The max deflection of the rafter is 36mm under live load, which passes the limit check for the rafter itself.
However, if I look at the 2m long purlins of the roof that span from wall to...
The stud wall will be normal timber wall instead of truss.
Understand that without transverse bars I cannot take the strip width to be 1m. But if I provide full width transverse bars, won't the strip be wider than 1m? I will expect it like a two way slab then : the loads goes to the middle strip...
Yeah you are right the red one is the wall above. It’s actually two timber stud walls not RC wall.
The picture is just indicative. The span is 6m roughly.
I am more interested in knowing what width should I take as one way slab or whether I can distribute the transfer loads to the entire slab...
I have this 6m bondek slab that needs to design to take transfer line load along its span.
I am wondering for both strength and deflection check what width do I need to take for where transfer load is and why?
I have used FEA for this full model and the results differ so much compared to my...
