A convenient way to do this is to use the increases of Fig. 5 for long-column loads calculated with a reduction factor of 3 from the modulus of elasticity values. 7.2.4 Wood under continuing load takes on a deformation known as plastic flow, usually very slow but persistent over long periods of time. Deflection of this nature occurring in timbers acting as beams is sometimes known as "set
