I am looking for a free software that can be downloaded for finite element analysis and has a built-in library for steel sections. (to analyze stresses in a column-beam moment connection for axeample)
Camber is usually provided to minimize total deflection due to applied loads accordingly it depends on span, cross section moment of inertia and dead load. So, theoretically you calculate the deflection occur due to dead load only and provide camber with approx. same value.
Practically, camber...
