Question

Limit state of serviceability for deflection including the effects due to creep, shrinkage and temperature occurring after erection of partitions and application of finishes as applicable to floors and roofs is restricted to

• A. $\frac{Span}{150}$
• B. $\frac{Span}{200}$
• C. $\frac{Span}{250}$
• D. $\frac{Span}{350}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{Span}{250}$

The deletion shall generally be limited to the following:
(i) The final deflection due to all loads including the effects of temperature, creep and shrinkage and measured from the as-cast level of the support of floors, roofs and all other horizontal members shall not normally exceed span/250.
(ii) The deflection including the effects of temperature, creep and shrinkage occurring after the erection of partitions and the application of finishes should not normally exceed span/350 or 20 mm whichever is less.
