Serviceability Parameters

 

 

 

Define control parameters of deflection for serviceability check.

 

Note
Steel Serviceability Parameters are applied to beam and column members.

 

 

 

From the Main Menu select Design > Design > Steel Design > Serviceability Parameters

 

 

 

 

 

Select a beam or column member from the Model View to enter the following parameters:

 

Option

 

Add/Replace: Add a new value or modify a predefined value.

 

Delete: Delete a predefined value.

 

 

Selection Type

 

Select all the members (“All”) or select the members by using “By Selection”.

 

 

        [When Eurocode 02 is selected in design code]    

 

Deflection Control for Beam

 

Enter the limiting deflection for beam members.

 

 

Deflection Control for Column

 

Enter the limiting deflection for column members.(h0= height of the building, h=story height)

 

 

Deflection Amplification Factor

 

Enter the Deflection Amplification Factor.

 

 

[When ACI318-14 (ACI318M-14) is selected in design code]

 

 

Deflection Control

 

            Select the limits of deflection for short-term.

 

 

Long-Term Deflection Control

    

            Select the limits of deflection for long-term.

 

       - Live Load Reduction Factor :   Enter the reflectance ratio of the live load at deflection calculation.

 

       - Time-Dependent Factor : Select : Select the elapsed time after constructing. The factor is set automatically according to elapsed time, and User input is also possible.

 

 

     

 

Deflection Amplification Factor

 

Enter the Deflection Amplification Factor.
