BEARING WIDTH: 400 mm
FOOTPATH WIDTH: 2.5 m
WEARING COAT: 100 mm

k= 0.29
j= 0.903
Q= 1.09

2) DEPTH DETERMINATION:

O/D FOR 16.5m SPAN = 1320 mm …(Assuming 80mm depth required for 1m span)
EFFECTIVE DEPTH = 1277.5 mm …(Assuming 25mm dia bars to be used)
EFFECTIVE SPAN (Maximum of):
I) ln+d = 17.7775 m
II) C/C dist. b/w supports = 16.9 m

= 17.7775 m

3) dead load bending moment and dead load shear force:

D.L OF SLAB = 31.68 KN …(Assuming unit wt. of concrete 24 KN/m3)

D.L OF WEARING COAT = 2.2 KN …(Assuming unit wt. of wearing coat 22 KN/m3)
TOTAL= 33.88 KN

BENDING MOMENT = 33.88 X 17.7775^2/8 = 1338.43 KNm/m

SHEAR FORCE = 33.88 X 16.5 /2 = 279.51 KNm/m

4) LIVE load bending moment and shear force CALCULATION:

EFFECTIVE LENGTH OF DISPERSION = 3.6+2 x (1320+100)/1000 = 6.44 m

EFFECTIVE BREADTH OF DISPERSION FOR SINGLE WHEEL (MAX BENDING MOMENT CRITERIA):

TOTAL BREADTH OF CARRIAGEWAY = 7.5 m

ASPECT RATIO = 0.70

b1= 1.05 m
2.88x8.88875x(1-8.88875/17.7775)+1.0 13.85 m

TOTAL EFFECTIVE BREADTH OF DISPERSION :

Bf = 4.125+2.05+6.925= 13.1 m
4.125 2.05 6.925

EFFECTIVE BREADTH OF DISPERSION FOR SINGLE WHEEL (MAX SHEAR FORCE CRITERIA):

ASPECT RATIO = 0.70

VALUE OF α FOR ASPECT RATIO 0.7 FROM CHART IS = 2.88
x= 3.22 m
b1= 1.05 m
2.88x3.22x(1-3.22/17.7775)+1.05= 8.64 m
4.125 2.05 4.32
TOTAL EFFECTIVE BREADTH OF DISPERSION :
Bf = 4.125+2.05+4.32= 10.495 m

5) impact factor:
IMPACT FACTOR = 0.1
TOTAL LIVE LOAD = 770 KN
5.66875 6.44
6) CALCULATION OF MAXIMUM BENDING MOMENT :
9.13
TOTAL DISPERSION AREA = 13.1 X 6.44 = 84.364 m2
UNIT LIVE LOAD = 770 / 84.364 = 9.13 KN/m2
 17.7775
MAX BENDING MOMENT(L.L)= (9.13x6.44/2X17.7775/2)-(9.13x6.44/2x6.44/4)
= 213.99 KNm/m
TOTAL BENDING MOMENT AT MID-SPAN (DL+LL)= 213.99 + 1338.43 = 1552.42 KNm/m

6) CALCULATION OF MAXIMUM SHEAR FORCE :

TOTAL DISPERSION AREA = 67.59 m2

UNIT LIVE LOAD = 770 / 67.59 = 11.39 KN/m2

MAX SHEAR FORCE (L.L) = 9.13x6.44x(17.7775-6.44/2)/17.7775 6.44

48.147 KN/m
TOTAL S.F AT SUPPORT (DL+LL) = 48.15 +279.51 = 327.66 KN/m 9.13
