I think you are not getting his point. He is saying that if you allow column strip deflection to be 39mm as per L/240 criteria of the code, then that deflection will be translated to a value of 52mm at the mid span of middle strip. Explanation: For 39mm deflection, the slope of the deflected slab will be 9.3/2/.039 = 119.5 (about 1 in 120); and based on that slope, the midspan deflection will be about 12.46/2/.120 = 51.9mm. If possible, can you share how are you calculating your long term deflections of two way slab panels?

Dear Muhammad Apologies. I approached to one design director of Meinhardt to discuss the issue yesterday. I am hereby attaching his reply along with my query which I had posted yesterday. What he is saying actually is x-direction center to center distance is 8.3x1000/240 = 35mm allowable deflection for column strip in x-direction y-direction center to center distance is 9.3x1000/240 = 39mm allowable deflection for column strip in y-direction for middle panel 12.5x1000/240= 52mm is allowable Can anybody also give there input QUERY (1).pdf
