In practice, deflection problems are commonly encountered in beams and slabs.
These deflections can prevent the operation of sensitive machinery or lead to a
decrease in the stiffness of the section due to cracking. If deflection reaches
excessive levels, cracks can propagate to larger extents, significantly
reducing the load-bearing capacities of the elements. This study aims to
explain the basic principles of total deflection calculations prescribed in
TS500 and EUROCODE2. It uses four scenarios of various parameters to understand
the methodological differences between the regulations and compare their
results.
The effect of changes in various parameters on the selected simple beam
was investigated. These parameters include the span length of the beam, ratios
of tensile reinforcement, ratios of compression reinforcement and different
concrete classes. The influence of each parameter's variation on the magnitude
of short-term and long-term deflections according to TS500 and EUROCODE2
standards was investigated. These calculations were carried out based on the
fundamental principles specified in both regulations, and the results obtained
were compared.
