Calculation of Deformation in Cracked State

How can I determine the deformation in the cracked state of concrete using the required minimum reinforcement, and/or required calculated reinforcement?

Answer:

Both options at the bottom of the "Serviceability" tab of Window 1.1 control whether the design checks are performed according to the analytical or the nonlinear method.
