Chapter 9 Serviceability Limit States ——Cracking
10.1 Concepts of Serviceability Limit States Design 10.1.1 Serviceability limit states In general,the most important serviceability limit states include Deflection-the appearance of a structure or any part of a structure must not be adversely affected by deflections. Cracking-the appearance or durability of a structure or any part of a structure must not be adversely affected by any cracking of the concrete. Durability -this must be considered in terms of the proposed life of a structure and its conditions of exposure

Currently,excessive flexural deflection and excessive flexural cracking must normally be considered in design
• Currently, excessive flexural deflection and excessive flexural cracking must normally be considered in design
Other serviceability limit states that may be reached include Fire resistance-this must be considered to flame penetration and heat transfer Excessive vibration-causing discomfort or alarm as well as damage. Fatigue-this may be considered if cyclic loading is likely. Special circumstances-any special requirement, such as earthquake,explosion (nuclear ~thermal )impact,etc
