(i) The deflection of a member is calculated without considering the impact factor or dynamic effect of the loads causing deflection.
(ii) The deflection of a member shall not be such as to impair the strength or efficiency of the structure and lead to damage to the finish.
(iii) Generally, the maximum deflection for a beam shall not exceed 1/325 of the span. This limit may be exceeded in cases where greater deflection would not impair the strength or efficiency of the structure or lead to damage to the finish.
(iv) The deflection of the beams may be decreased by increasing the depth of beams, decreasing the span, providing greater restrain, or by any other means.
