Slender Building Floors, Clarification of Extreme DeflectionsServiceability of a large office building was impaired by extreme deflections of their slender floors. This deformation behaviour was peculiar from the beginning on and had caused damage to the partitions and facades and questions the strength of the building. The flaws and the stiffness oriented process are described in the paper in term of clarification of the causes and assessment of the consequences.
