LONG TERM DEFLECTION (AS3600)
LONG TERM DEFLECTION (AS3600)
(OP)
Hi'
I was advised to design a beam that must satisfy AS3600 table 2.3.2 or the limits for deflection. Is it proper to compare the limit, that is L/250, with the long term deflection of the beam (calculated through RAPT) or is it used only for immediate deflection? If so, what is the limit for long term deflection?

The RAPT help manual does a pretty good job of explaining deflection limitations, including theory.
