How does increasing the span length affect the flexural deflection of a beam, assuming all other factors remain constant?
50. How does increasing the span length affect the flexural deflection of a beam, assuming all other factors remain constant?
- Increases deflection
- Decreases deflection
- Increases critical load
- No effect on deflection
Answer
The correct answer is: A) Increases deflection
Explanation
Assuming that all other variables stay constant, a beam's flexural deflection usually rises as its span length grows.
