Deflection of Beam - (Measured in Meter) - Deflection of Beam is the degree to which a structural element is displaced under a load (due to its deformation). It may refer to an angle or a distance.
Greatest Safe Point Load - (Measured in Newton) - The Greatest Safe Point Load refers to the maximum weight or force that can be applied to a structure without causing failure or damage, ensuring structural integrity and safety.
Length of Beam - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Beam is the center to center distance between the supports or the effective length of the beam.
Cross Sectional Area of Beam - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Sectional Area of Beam the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Depth of Beam - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Beam is the overall depth of the cross-section of the beam perpendicular to the axis of the beam.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Greatest Safe Point Load: 1.25 Kilonewton --> 1250 Newton (Check conversion here)
Length of Beam: 10.02 Foot --> 3.05409600001222 Meter (Check conversion here)
Cross Sectional Area of Beam: 13 Square Meter --> 13 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Beam: 10.01 Inch --> 0.254254000001017 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

δ = (Wp*(L^3))/(50*A_cs*(d_b^2)) --> (1250*(3.05409600001222^3))/(50*13*(0.254254000001017^2))

Evaluating ... ...

δ = 847.440315116114

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

847.440315116114 Meter -->33363.7919335718 Inch (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

33363.7919335718 ≈ 33363.79 Inch <-- Deflection of Beam

What is a Deflection?

Deflection is the degree to which a structural element is displaced under a load. It may refer to an angle or a distance. The deflection distance of a member under a load can be calculated by integrating the function that mathematically describes the slope of the deflected shape of the member under that load. Standard formulas exist for the deflection of common beam configurations and load cases at discrete locations. Otherwise methods such as virtual work, direct integration, Castigliano's method, Macaulay's method or the direct stiffness method are used.
