Deflection

in offshore engineering they use AISC codes and standard. what i learnt during my studies it is not really similar but the concept/theory it is just the same. only different in equation.

a bit complicated to relate all the joint displacement with whole structure. i hv to imagine how the load distribute on one beam, but it is also depends on environmental + dependent soil profile + wave + current. if i want to include or consider all the factors it will take sometime to finish my design.

so i just use the deflection equation and poof~ i got the result. engineering is full  of assumptions, but these are not blindly applied. its must be relevant and logic base on design.
