One Way Slab Deflection Problem Concrete

Anonymous · ‎11-23-2015

Hi all,

I know that there are many topics related to one way spanning slabs however my question relates to the deflection result of the slab.

I am looking to support hollow slabs on beams - I have had trouble and have chosen to use a orthotropic slab of constant thickness.

I have used a 5m x 8m grid for my test with a 2kN/m2 UDL and the moments on the beams are as I expect them to be and fine.

However the deflection results look odd and I think that the results should be rotated by 90 degrees - please find the screenshot attached.

I have also run other tests and found that I am getting deflections in the positive directions whcih is odd!

Could somebody help please?

Seems good to me . Longer beams get almost all the load and are less stiff than the shorter beams.
