Steel masonry support (BS5950) - How is the deflection limit of the toe calculated?
Environment
British Standard
The deflection limit of the toe is calculated by the given formula (shown below) as referenced in the NCI-P-157 Cl.5 on page 2.
dlim = (1 + dm / c)
The deflection limit is not to be confused with the torsional deflection. The torsional deflection is a user defined limit however it cannot exceed the deflection limit which is hard coded into the calculation.
