Steel Designer provides two design checks for the serviceability of a member. These design checks are used to check that the deflection of a member about either the major or minor axes does not exceed a specified deflection limit.

To set the design properties of a member for serviceability

Ø  Select the required members in the Frame window

Ø  Choose Serviceability … from the Design menu

Ø  For each deflection check, select the axis about which the deflection will be checked.

Ø  Type in values for the deflection limits.

Ø  Click OK
