Procedure For The Calculation of Deflection To EC2

By Colin Caprani
1. Calculate Ec,ef:
Ec,ef = Ecm / (1 + φ)
Where: φ = creep coefficient from table (p154 of Mosley & Bungey)
Ecm = 9.5 (fck + 8) ⅓
5. Calculate the stress in the tension steel just as the beam cracks, fsr:
fsr = m Mcr (d – xu) / Iu
Where: a=b/2
c = - [ (m -1)Ascd’ + mAsd ]
7. Calculate the maximum stress in the tension steel in the cracked section, fs:
fs = m Mmax (d – xc) / Ic
9. Calculate the final deflection, δfin, which must be < span / 250:
δfin = ξ δc + (1 – ξ) δu
