7.3.For the beam in Problem 7.1: (a) Calculate the increment of deflection resulting from the first application of the short-term live load. (b) Find the creep portion of the sustained

load deflection plus the immediate deflection due to live load. (c) Compare your results with the limitations imposed by the ACI Code, as summarized in Table 7.2. Assume that the beam is a part of a floor system and supports cinder block partitions susceptible to cracking if deflections are excessive.
