Deflections

Once the Deflection tab is selected in the Diagrams dialog box accessed from the Results menu, the dialog box shown below will appear.

Note: The designations presented in the above dialog box depend on a selected code of RC structure element design.

For the codes: ACI 318 and ACI 318 metric, the dialog box provides options that allow displaying - on a diagram - admissible and total deflections as well as intermediate stages of deflections compatible with the required code calculations.

For the codes: EC2 - Belgium NAD, BS8110, PN-84/B-03264 and PN-B-03264 (1999), the dialog box presents two separate fields: Deflection and Cracking. The Deflection field provide access to options that enable displaying - on a diagram - allowable and total deflections as well as intermediate stages of deflections compatible with the required code calculations. The Cracking field allows displaying - on a diagram - element cracking and the limit value resulting from a code.

Note: If in the Calculation optionsdialog box (the General tab, the Advanced dialog box) the Display diagrams for all combinations option is switched on, it will be possible to display both an envelope and each load combination separately.
