giving the required section modulus per joist, modified by factor K ( 1.06 ) for the wet exposure condition, as
1
z = M *106/( *K )

Deflection check
The deflection calculated includes for shear deflection and is based on the following
- For a non-loadsharing system
- Youngs modulus - E = 5800 N/mm2
- Shear modulus - G = 290 N/mm2
- Shape factor - F = 1.2 (for rectangular sections)

and section properties of

- Area - A = 900 cm2
- Mom. of inertia - I = 67500 cm4

In the wet environment the following modification factors are also used
- for area - K = 1.04
1A
- for mom. of inertia - K = 1.08
1I
- for Youngs modulus - K = 0.8
2E
