Beam Deflection / Serviceability Limits using ASD
Lonnie - Thank you for your response. Do you find that for wood beams with long spans (ie 10-20 feet) that an "observable" deflection will govern more often than the live load and total load deflection limits? Dave - When designing with ASD, loads can be reduced by combination 4 found in ASCE...- rudycwright

Beam Deflection / Serviceability Limits using ASD
The unfactored loads being applied to find deflection would be greater than the loads that would cause failure by flexure or shear under factored loads.- rudycwright

Beam Deflection / Serviceability Limits using ASD
I have a question on what load factors, if any, should be applied for design of wood beams by ASD for Live Load Deflection and Total Load Deflection. Using LRFD, load factors increase the loads but deflections are calculated using un-factored loads to represent actual loading and actual...- rudycwright
