    The document discusses deflection and slope of beams. It defines deflection as the distance a beam moves under loading, and slope as the angle of the beam's tangent relative to its original axis. It lists four methods to determine beam deflection: double integration, Macaulay's, moment area, and conjugate beam. Macaulay's method has advantages over double integration by allowing a single bending moment equation and handling partial and varying loads more conveniently. It defines simple supported beams and cantilever beams, and explains that computing beam deflections is necessary to ensure structures remain aesthetic, avoid excessive cracking, and prevent floor/wall damage from large deflections.

    UNIT 3

    DEFLECTION OF BEAMS
    2 MARKS

    1. What is meant by Deflection & Slope of a beam?

    Deflection of a Beam : The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is the
    distance between its position before and after loading

    Slope of a Beam : Slope at any section in a deflected beam is defined as the


    angle in radians which the tangent at the section makes
    with the original axis of the beam.

    2. What are the methods to determine the deflection of beams?


    The following are the methods available to determine the deflection of a
    beam.
    a) Double Integration method
    b) Macaulay’s method
    c) Moment area method
    d) Conjugate beam method

    3. What are the advantages of Macaulay’s method over Double Integration Method?
    a)Macaulay’s Method enables us to write a single equation for bending
    moment for the full length of the beam
    b) Partial uniformly distributed loads (u.d.l.) and uniformly varying loads
    (u.v.l.) over the span and a number of concentrated loads are conveniently
    handled using this technique.

    4. Define a)SSB b)CB


    SSB:
    A beam supported or resting freely on the supports at it’s both ends.

    CB:
    A beam which is fixed at one end & free at other end

    5. Why is it necessary to compute deflections in structures?


    Computation of deflection of structures is necessary for the following
    reasons:
    a. If the deflection of a structure is more than the permissible, the structure will
    not look aesthetic and will cause psychological upsetting of the occupants.
    b. Exessive deflection may cause cracking in the materials attached to the
    structure.
    For example, if the deflection of a floor beam is excessive, the floor finishes and
    partition walls supported on the beam may get cracked and unserviceable
