Hello,
In reinforced concrete flat plate buildings we design the deflection for L/360. This would be the deflection at the mid point between supports of a continuous slab.
I am testing a scaled down version of the slab, and it is loaded with a point load. How would I compare the deflection values? I could extend the tangent to the centre point? But I am not sure if that would be “accurate” enough.
I know that in reinforced concrete deflection calculations on their own aren’t “exact” based on reality.
