Line 23:
A structure is considered to fail the chosen serviceability criteria if it is insufficiently stiff to have acceptably small [[Deflection (engineering)|deflection]] or [[dynamics (mechanics)|dynamic]] response under loading.
 
The inverse of stiffness is [[flexibility (engineering)|flexibilitflexibility]].
