    Hi, sola ojo!

    I'm sorry that no one has yet come along to address your question, so, I thought that I would give it a shot.

    Have you tried the following search?

    Architecture Deflection of Beams Formula - Google Search

    I know that the formula is discussed on some of the sites of the search.

    Another site that might be of particular help would be the following one.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(structure)

    Thanks!
