Deflection

Slab bar AB of length L, moment of inertia I, elasticity modulus E, is subjected to uniform load p. Given shear force VA,R(at left support) and bending moment MA, calculate equation of elastic line due to bending and maximum deflection.

Considering coordinate z origin at the left end:


The basic equation:



of the elastic line is solved in two steps:

Step 1


Hence, the equation of the elastic line tangents is:



Step 2


y(z)=0 → C2=0

Hence, the equation of the elastic line is :


y(L)=0 →



Thus, the equations of the elastic line tangents (1) and deflections (2) are determined.

The maximum deflection is at the location where the first derivative of the elastic line equation is zero, i.e. at the point z where φ(z) =0.


The real positive root of the cubic equation (3) gives the desired point zmax, which replaced in equation (2) yields the maximum deflection ymax.


Example: Deflection of first slab (example of §4.3.1):

For L=4.5 m, p=16.5 kN/m, VA,R=32.1 kN and MA=0.0, expression (3) yields:


(4) > (16.5/6)·z3-(32.1/2)·z2-0+45.7=0 > 2.75z3-16.05z2+45.7=0 > z max=2.112 m

(2) > For slab thickness h=180 mm and modulus of elasticity for concrete E=32.80 GPa:

I=(b·h3)/12=(1.0x0.183)/12=486x10-6 m4

E·I=32.8x109N/m2x486x10-6m4=15.9408x106 N·m2, therefore,



Example: Deflection of second slab (example of §4.3.1):

For L=4.0 m, p=9.75 kN/m, VA,R=21.7 kN and MA=-22.6 kNm, expression (3) yields:


(4) > (9.75/6)·z3-(21.7/2)·z2+22.6z-13.333=0 > 1.625z3-10.85z2+22.6z-13.333=0 > zmax=0.993m


For slab thickness h=140 mm and modulus of elasticity for concrete E=32.80 GPa:

I=(b·h3)/12=1.0x0.143/12=228.7x10-6 m4

E·I=32.8x109N/m2x228.7x10-6m4=7.5014x106 N·m, therefore,



Example: Deflection of third slab (example of §4.3.1):

For L=4.0 m, p=9.75 kN/m, VA,R=23.0 kN and MA=-13.9 kNm, expression (3) yields:

C1=(-9.75x4.03/24+23.0x4.02/6-13.9x4.0/2) kN·m2 =7.533 kN·m2

(4) > (9.75/6)·z3-(23.0/2)·z2+13.9z+7.533=0 a 1.625z3-11.50z2+13.9z+7.533=0 a zmax=2.181m


For slab thickness h=140 mm and modulus of elasticity for concrete E=32.80 GPa:

I=(b·h3)/12=1.0x0.143/12=228.7x10-6 m4

E·I=32.8x109N/m2x228.7x10-6m4=7.5014x106 N·m2, therefore,
