Serviceability Limit State Check

In serviceability limit state checks the instantaneous, the net final and the final relative deflections (including creep) are checked.

The code assumes a linear relation between the actions and corresponding deformations. However nonlinear analysis is also supported: in case of a nonlinear analysis the creep effects of the final deflections are obtained from the instant deflections coming from linear analysis.
