serviceability

EK707

Compatibility torsion arises in monolithic construction when compatibility of deformation of the connected parts have to be maintained, e.g. edge beams in a normal framed building with slabs and beams […]

EK649

According to Eurocode, the imperfections should be taken into account in the ultimate limit states in persistent and accidental design situations, but not in serviceability.

EK578

In the limit state method, both collapse condition and serviceability condition are considered. In this method, the structure has to be designed to withstand safely all loads and deformations likely […]
