Question

The maximum deflection allowed in steel compression
members in ordinary steel buildings is:
(1) L/250 (2) L/325
(3) L/450 (4) L/540

Answer 1

The maximum deflection allowed in steel compression member in order Steel building is ~L/325

Answer 2

The maximum deflection is L/325.

• In actuality, these members are only ever subjected to axially compressive stresses, even though they are crucial components that are forced together or sustain a load.
• The impact factor or dynamic impact of the loads creating deflection is not taken into account when calculating a member's deflection.
• Generally speaking, a beam's greatest deflection cannot be greater than L/325 of its span.
• This cap may be exceeded if a larger deflection causes finish damage without compromising the structure's strength or effectiveness.
