Question (Numerical)
A 120m cantilever span shows 85mm initial deflection under permanent loads. With a creep coefficient of 2.2 and shrinkage strain of 200×10⁻⁶, calculate the total long-term deflection using simplified analysis methods. Assume effective depth is 2.5m and prestress reduces deflection by 25%.
