Check deflection at critical section

Section Dimensions
Sec. Width[b] = 25 cm
Sec. Thickness[t] = 60 cm
Sec. Slab Thickness[ts] = 12 cm

Step 1 : Calculate the un-cracked section properties

Neglect the reinforcement steel in calculating the gross moment of inertia (Ig).
Effective compression flange width [Beff] = 6 * Slab ts + Section Width 97
Neutral Axis Location from compression side ( Y ) = ((( b * ts * ts / 2) + b * ( t - ts) * (( t - ts) / 2 + ts)) / ( b * ts +
b * ( t - ts))) = 21.23cm
Ig =(b * (t - ts) 3 ) / 12 + b * (t - ts) * ((t - ts) / 2 + ts- Ytop) 2 + (b * ts 3 / 12) + b * ts* (Ytop - ts/ 2) 2 ) =
776144.649746193 cm 4

Step 2 : Calculate the cracking moment and the applied moment

f ctr = 1.9 * √ Fcu (eq 4-61-b) = 1.9 * √ 250 = 30.042 kg/cm 2
M ctr = f ctr * I g / Y = 30.0416377715996 * 776144.649746193 / 21.2284263959391 = 6.01 t.m
M act (From Moment Analysis) = 2.13 t.m
Since M act < M ctr ,then Ie = Ig

Step 4 : Calculate the effective moment of inertia

E c = 14000 *√ Fcu (eq 2.1) = 14000 * √ 250 = 2213594.36211787 kg/cm 2
Ie = Ig = 776144.65 cm 4

Step 5 : Calculate deflection

Step 5.1 : Calculate of correction factor
due to simiplicty ,deflection values calculated previously neglected the cracking stat of the concrete section
so ,In order to calculate the actual values of deflection we need to calculate the correction factor
Correction Factor = Ig/Ie = 1

Step 5.2 : Calculate immediate deflection

From the double integeration elastic deflection method ,values of deflection at critical point are
∆ D.L = ∆ D.L Calculated * Correction Factor = 0.0061 * 1 = 0.006 cm
∆ L.L = ∆ L.L Calculated * Correction Factor = 0.0007 * 1 = 0.001 cm
Thus the immediate deflection equals :

∆ i =∆ D.L + ∆ L.L = 0.007 cm

Step 5.3 : Calculate the long-term deflection

the total deflection due to all loads including the effect of creep equals:
∆ total = (1 + α) * ∆ D.L + ∆ L.L
α = 2 - 1.2 (As \ /As) = 2 - 1.2 *(2.26/2.26) = 0.8
∆ total = (1 + α) * ∆ D.L + ∆ L.L = (1+0.8) *0.0061 + 0.0007 = 0.0118 cm

Step 6: Check code requirements

Effective Span Length for the span (Leff) = 0.87 * L ((Continous one End)) = 0.87 * 3.2 = 2.784m
The code maximum limit for the span that contain the max deflection can be calculated as following
∆ Allowable = Leff/250 = (2.784 * 100)/250 = 1.1136 cm
Since ∆ total (0.0118 cm) < ∆ Allowable (1.1136 cm), the code limit is satisfied.
