This simplistic crit eria puts a limit of the span divided by 360 on the incremental deflection due to live (or transient) load only and a limit of the span divided by 2 40 on deflecti on under total load. These limit states are mathematic expressed as: LL  < L/360 TL  < L/240 These limits were originally developed for members with "brittle" finishes, such a s plaster. Plaster is not commonly used as a finishing material anymore. The goal of th e limits wa s to minimi ze the possibility of damage to the finish and provide reasonable comfort for the building occ upants. The criteria has persisted in practice. Other criteria has been used that more explicitly addresses the use of the beam un der consideration. For example, the Timber Construction Manual [ref. 12], page 66 suggests the values given in Table 8.4.2.1 and 8.4.2.2. Other references give different, but similar, crit eria.
