Notation

As'= area of the compression reinforcement, in2
b = width of compression face of member, in.
d= distance from extreme compression fiber to centroid of logitudinal longitudinal tension reinforcement, in.
ρ' = ratio of As' to bd
ξ = time-dependent favtor factor for sustained load
λΔ = multiplier used for additional deflection due to long-term effects

...

According to ACI 24.2.4.1.1. , additional time-dependent deflection resulting from creep and shrinkage of flexural members can be calculated as the product of immediate deflection caused by sustained load and the factor λΔ.
