Maximum design live load effects per strip width including dynamic allowance.

a. Interior strip (E=3257.4mm

Impact factor = , where

* + ( ) , the governing load is tandem + lane

b. Edge strip(E=1628.7mm)

One lane loaded with a multiple presence factor of 1.2 will be critical (assuming future
widening and the edge strip is loaded by full axle loads)
