I'm looking into calculating shrinkage deflection in composite beams. I have an article by Roberto T. Leon, serviceability Criteria for LRFD Composite Floors. I can't seem to get his calculations to work based on the theory he presents.

Anyone have any other articles/books/recommended reading on the subject?

Thanks guys.
