Deadband is also known as hysteresis and is the amount of a measured variable (pressure, temperature, etc.) between the point where a switch closes and then re-opens. It can be implemented is software if you have an analog input (i.e., open at 1.02 PSI, close at 0.98 PSI) or designed into a switching mechanism. Often the deadband of a switch is fixed and cannot be adjusted. A typical example is in a wall thermostat in your house.
L / 360 L / 240 L / 180 L / 360. L / 240 L / 180 L / 120 L / 240. The limits shown above for deflection due to dead + live loads do not apply to steel beams, because the dead load deflection is usually compensated by cambering. Camber is a curvature in the opposite direction of the dead load deflection curve. When the dead load is applied to a cambered beam, the curvature is removed and beam becomes level.
