Deflection calculation using IDEA StatiCa BEAM
For detailed comparison of calculation results can be used project file, which is attached to this benchmark. The results presented below correspond to Extreme “4” for Section in the middle of beam span. Values presented in reference calculation (previous chapter) are marked by red rectangles.
Calculated deflection value in red rectangle in table below represents the long-term deflection caused by long-term loads including effect of creep (Quasi-permanent combination).
Deflection value in blue rectangle represents total deflection including effect of creep (Characteristic combination).
