Stiffness factor constant value query

Hi, 


Just a quick question, probably not so much Robot specific - is the constant value of stiffness factor (see full slab mapped in yellow with a constant value) for the slabs based on creep where elastic modulus is reduced Eceff = Ecm/(1+ f)? where slab section is not cracked, the stiffness factor is mostly about 2-2.5  as per the lower slab in the image below (upper slab in the image below has higher moment and is cracked, lower one uncracked).

This suggests that slab stiffness can never be more than 0.4-0.5EI.
