CAN/CSA-S16-01 / S16-09 / S16-14

For composite design the deflections under the post-composite loads are based on an effective moment of inertia as given in Clause 17.3.1. To account for creep the deflections caused by dead loads and long term live loads are increased by 15%. Shrinkage deflection is also calculated and included in the deflection results. Criteria that affect these values can be specified using the Criteria > Canada Parameters command in RAM Manager.
