Deck Rebar Material: This parameter can be used to specify the material used for the deck rebars.
Concrete creep adjustment factorCreep Adjustment Factor: To incorporate the effects of concrete creep in stress calculations that involve the application of long-term loads to the composite section in regions of negative flexure, the area of the longitudinal reinforcement can be conservatively adjusted by dividing it by the "Concrete creep adjustment factor." The concrete is assumed to transfer the force from the longitudinal deck steel to the rest of the cross-section, with concrete creep acting to reduce that force over time. It is important to note that assuming a value greater than 1 is a conservative approach and is not mandated by the AASHTO LRFD BDS. As such, it is not recommended to use this assumption in normal design practice. When using the default value of 1, the reinforcement area will remain unaltered.
