How the deflection check for slabs is carried out by STRUDS®?
The deflection check for STRUDS® is carried out as per the Specifications of the I.S 456. In this the modification factor is calculated depending upon the percentage of steel, required for flexure. Again, the depth required to satisfy the flexural check requirements is obtained, and if this depth is greater than the depth provided, the user is asked to either increase the depth or increase the Steel percentage.
