For simply supported steel beams, maximum permitted deflection is:-

Question 1

For simply supported steel beams, maximum permitted deflection is:-
1. 1/375 of span
2. 1/400 of span
3. 1/350 of span
4. 1/325 of span

Question 2

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1/325 of span

Explanation:

Maximum permissible deflection in simply supported steel beam = \(\frac{1}{{325}} \times {\bf{Span}}\)

Some of the reason for limiting deflection is:

Excessive deflection may create problems for floor or roof drainage.
Excessive deflection may lead to crack in the plaster of ceilings & may damage the material attached to or supported by the beam.
There may cause undesirable twisting and distortion of connections and connected materials.
