Assume a temperature change of 70 °F after erection when calculating thermal movement in one direction (not total). Take T

min

= 10 °F and T

max

= 80 °F. For the panhandle region use T

min

= 10 °F and T

max

= 115 °F, for a total temperature change of 105 °F. Optionally, the temperature ranges in Article 3.12.2.2 may be used if appropriate.

Do not include shrinkage, creep, and elastic shortening when determining maximum movement, which will be accommodated through infrequent slip.

Use the critical DL condition (the lightest predicted DL) when checking against slip.

Use Load Combination Service I for all gravity loads.

Ignore limit on ${S_i}^{2}In$
in Article 14.7.6.1.
