This document provides guidelines for checking the deflection of bridge components under vehicular and pedestrian loading. It specifies that permissible deflection is the span divided by 800 for vehicular loading or 1000 for combined vehicular and pedestrian loading. The actual deflection is calculated using a formula involving the moment due to vehicle load, the span, the modulus of elasticity, and the cracked moment of inertia. The deflection of the top slab, bottom slab, and side wall of a bridge are then checked against the permissible deflection limits and found to be acceptable in this example.
