In [1] 6.6.2 (3) it is decided that commonly declared and used methods for the evaluation of settlements should be used. In the application the methods described in [2] are used. In the calculations, regards to creep and according to [1] 6.6.2 (16) it is a condition for settlements to be calculated in a common way, i.e. by only considering elastic and konsolidation settlements, and that only half of the design capacity in the ultimate limit state is used. Otherwise the creep deformations needs to be considered. The application can not check this and it is up to the user to fulfil this condition.
