Chapter 12 Maximum Deflection in Bridges
Category Max allowable deflection Railway bridges L/800 Roadway bridges L/600 Structural buildings L/300 Crane track girders L/800 The elastic deflections of girders due to L.L. (without dynamic effect) shouldn’t exceed:-
To cancel the deflection due to dead load a cumber is done during the construction of the beams or trusses, where the structure will be have the required shape after erection. In case of suspension bridges the cumber is done by adding both the deflection due to D.L. and L.L. into consideration. The minimum sections to be used in structural steel works shall be as follows:-
