উপর দিয়ে হেঁটে গেলে ১ ইঞ্চির চেয়ে বেশি বিচ্যুত হওয়া ভূ-গর্ভস্ত ভাণ্ডারের দরজা
Explanation:
Deflection is an engineering term. More deflection value makes the structure vulnerable. Refer to the web image reference given bellow, if the door experience deflection greater than 1" (or the design value) due to imposed loads like human weight, the door might collapse.

L/360 > 1


Explanation:
In engineering, deflection is the degree to which a structural element is displaced under a load. It may refer to an angle or a distance.

Deflection can be calculated by standard formula or by methods such as virtual work, direct integration, Castigliano's method, Macaulay's method or the direct stiffness method, amongst others.

It is generally calculated as L/360, where L = span [of the door (here)]

Example: if span of door = 360"

360 / 360 = 1"

allowable deflection is 1"

So, if deflection is more than 1, span of door is more than 360".

It is not the exact way the deflection is assessed. AS mentioned, it is assessed by methods such as virtual work, direct integration, Castigliano's method, Macaulay's method or the direct stiffness method, amongst others.

I have used the example to explain the term to a layman.

disagree  Al Arafat: Being a civil engineer, I understand that this is not the 'exact' way the deflection is assessed.
