Sustained Load Deflections
Creep causes an increase in concrete strain
Curvature increases
Increase in compressive strains cause increase in
stress in compression reinforcement (reduces
creep strain in concrete)
Compression steel present
Helps limit this effect.

Sustained Load Deflections

at midspan for simple and continuous beams at
support for cantilever beams

Sustained Load Deflections
x time dependent factor for sustained load
Also see Figure 9.5.2.5 from ACI code
11
Sustained Load Deflections
For dead and live loads
DL and LL may have different x factors for LT (
long term ) D calculations
12
Sustained Load Deflections
The appropriate value of Ic must be used to
calculate D at each load stage.
13
Serviceability Load Deflections - Example
Show in the attached figure is a typical interior
span of a floor beam spanning between the girders
at locations A and C. Partition walls, which may
be damaged by large deflections, are to be
erected at this level. The interior beam shown
in the attached figure will support one of these
partition walls. The weight of the wall is
included in the uniform dead load provided in the
figure. Assume that 15 of the distributed
dead load is due to a superimposed dead load,
which is applied to the beam after the partition
wall is in place. Also assume that 40 of the
live load will be sustained for at least 6 months.

Serviceability Load Deflections - Example
Part I Determine whether the floor beam meets the
ACI Code maximum permissible deflection criteria.
(Note it will be assumed that it is acceptable
to consider the effective moments of inertia at
location A and B when computing the average
effective moment of inertia for the span in this
example.) Part II Check the ACI Code crack width
provisions at midspan of the beam.
16
Serviceability Load Deflections - Example
Deflection before glass partition is installed
(85 of DL)
17
Example
Compute gross moment of inertia, Ig.

Example
The moment of inertia
19
Example
The moment capacity
20
Example
Determine bending moments due to initial load
(0.85 DL) The ACI moment coefficients will be
used to calculate the bending moments Since the
loading is not patterned in this case, This is
slightly conservative
21
Example
The moments at the two locations
Moment at C will be set equal to Ma for
simplicity, as given in the problem statement.
22
Example
Assume Rectangular Section Behavior

Calculate the center
23
Example
The centroid is located at the As lt 4.5 in. tf
Use rectangular section behavior
24
Example
The moment of inertia at midspan
25
Example
Calculate average effective moment of inertia,
Ie(avg) for interior span (for 0.85 DL) For beam
with two ends continuous and use Ig for the two
ends.
26
Example
Calculate instantaneous deflection due to 0.85
DL Use the deflection equation for a fixed-fixed
beam but use the span length from the centerline
support to centerline support to reasonably
approximate the actual deflection.
27
Example
Calculate additional short-term Deflections (full
DL LL)
Let Mc Ma - 2000 k-in for simplicity see
problem statement
28
Example
Assume beam is fully cracked under full DL LL,
therefore I Icr (do not calculate Ie for now).

Example

Example

35
Example
Check whether modifying Icr to Ie will give an
acceptable deflection
36
Example

Deflection Criteria.

is acceptable.
