Deflection Check (Beams BS 8110)

This document provides guidelines for calculating the deflection of reinforced concrete beams according to BS 8110. It gives tables of limiting basic span to effective depth ratios for different beam types and support conditions. It also provides modification factors to adjust the basic ratios based on the amount and type of reinforcement. The modification factors account for tension reinforcement using a factor between 0.55 and 2.0, and compression reinforcement using a factor between 1 and 1.5.

Deflection Check (Beams: BS 8110)


The deflection of reinforced concrete beams is not directly calculated and the serviceability of the beam is measured
by comparing the calculated limiting basic span/effective depth ratio L/d
The following table gives basic span/effective depth ratio for rectangular and flanged beams for spans up­to 10 m.

Support Rectangular Flanged beam with Flanged beam with


Conditions Section
bw/b ≤ 0.3 bw/b > 0.3

Cantilever 7 5.6 Linear interpolated


value between 7 and
5.6

Simply 20 16 Linear interpolated


Supported value between 20
and 16

Continuous 26 20.8 Linear interpolated


value between 26
and 20.8

For spans exceeding 10 m values in the above table are multiplied by (10/Span) except for
cantilevers where the design is justified by calculations.A

For beams with tension reinforcement, the basic values of L/d are multiplied by using the
modification factor;

Modification = MIN [0.55 + {(477 – fs) / (120*(0.9 + (M/bd2)))}, 2.0]


factorB (MFt)

where

M = design ultimate moment at the centre of the span or, for a cantilever, at the support

b = width or effective width of the section or flange in the compression zone

d = effective depth of the tension reinforcement

fs = the design service stress in the tension reinforcementC

= 5/8*(fy*As req) / As prov*1/βb

NOTE: As pointed out in Reynolds RC Designers Handbook the term 5/8 which is applicable for γms = 1.15 is given
incorrectly as 2/3 in BS 8110 which is applicable to γms = 1.05

fy = characteristic strength of reinforcement

As req = area of tension reinforcement required at mid­span to resist the moment due to design
ultimate loads (at support for cantilevers)

As prov = area of tension reinforcement provided at mid­span (at support for cantilevers)

βb = ratio of moments, after and before redistribution

NOTE: As redistribution is not implemented, βb = 1.

For beams with compression reinforcement, the basic values of L/d is multiplied by using the modification factor;D

Modification factor = MIN[{1 + ((100*As’prov)/(b*d))} / { 3 + (100*As’prov)/(b*d)}, 1.5]
