For flexural member service deflection limits, which approach best couples long‑term deformation checks with creep and shrinkage-aware analysis when Annex notes require it?

Choices

  • (A) Instant construction deflection limits only
  • (B) Ignore sustained load contributions for service criteria
  • (C) Time-dependent service deflections using creep/shrinkage multipliers paired with permissible span/depth guidance
  • (D) Reduce section depth blindly to meet deflection

Correct answer: (C)

Time-dependent service deflections using creep/shrinkage multipliers paired with permissible span/depth guidance

Explanation

Creep magnifies sustained-load deflections beyond elastic estimates.
