I saw somes posts regarding subject at this thread:

Mike mentioned using l/1000 as deflection limit. Would this be dead & live deflection or only live?
Thanks,

I normally would set the limit to the live load deflection at L/1000 as that is what will be working the concrete vertically after it cures, as SteelPE mentioned.
That being said, I would still set the total load deflection at L/600 so as not to have too much ponding of concrete, increasing the load further to the floor joists, if you know what I mean.

L/600 is the standard for brick masonry walls, so I just adopted that and it has worked just fine.
