Hi there,
When Calculating long-term deflection, shall we consider the area used for the tension and compression reinforcement? or is it enough to consider LL, DL, and SDL? If any engineer has a reference from BS, kindly share it with us.
please find attached

Hi there,
According to the American codes, we can assume the value of K2 relates to bracing in the ends. do we have a more specific method? because some designers use the values k2=1.8 or 1.5 for pinned-free ends.
