Deflection

Usually you are interested in deflections for Service (Dead and Live Load plus PT if applicable) and Long Term.

RAM Concept uses gross section inertia for deflection contours. You can investigate the effects of creep, shrinkage and cracking with Load History Deflections. See Chapter 65, "Load History Deflections" for more information.

Note: The following deflection plans DO NOT consider cracking, creep or shrinkage.
