Do steel reinforcements affect deflection in a cantilever? - Deflection Formula

Source: Kim and Kim 2021

While the basic deflection formula for a cantilever beam primarily involves parameters such as the modulus of elasticity (E), moment of inertia (I), and the applied load (P), the inclusion of steel reinforcement indeed plays a role.

Understanding Deflection Formula in Cantilever Beams

Deflection in cantilever beams occurs due to bending caused by applied loads. The formula for maximum deflection (δδ) at the free end of a cantilever beam subjected to a point load at its end is given by:

δ=PL3/EIδ=PL3/EI
