why do we need to compute slope and deflection in beams
Answers
Answer:
Structural Analysis (Calculating slope deflection) gives us theoretical representation of beam after the application of load. ... So the reason behind calculating slope and deflection is to know how the beam will bend and to which extent.
The slope formula is used to calculate the steepness of a line and the x and y coordinates of the lines are used for the same. We know that the slope of a line is one of the most important characteristics of a line as it helps to measure the rate of change.
Deflection, in structural engineering terms, means the movement of a beam or node from its original position. It happens due to the forces and loads being applied to the body. Deflection also referred to as displacement, which can occur from externally applied loads or from the weight of the body structure itself
