1 Depth of Slab and Effective Span

Assume depth of the slab

(80*span in m) mm 80x5 = 400
Adopt 0.4 m
Effective depth 400-10-30 = 0.36 m

Effectuive Span: least of

Clear span + effective depth 5+0.36 = 5.36 m
Clear span + bearing width 5+0.4= 5.4 m
Effective span (l) 5.36 m

2 Dead load bending moment and shear force

2
Dead Load of the slab 24X0.4 = 9.6 kN/mm
2
Dead Load of the wearing coat 22x0.08 = 1.76 kN/mm

2
Total dead load(w d) 11.36 kN/mm

2
Dead load bending moment (wdl )/8 = 40.80 kNm
Dead load shear force (wdl)/2 = 30.44 kN

2 Live load bending moment and shear force

width of deck slab (B) 14+2x1 = 16 m
(road width + footpaths' width on both sides)
 Effective span (l) 5.36 m
K = B/l 16/5.36 = 2.99 m
α= 3

bef = α x (1 - x / l ) +b1

center of gravity distance (x) of the wheel l/2 = 2.68

b1 = contact width of tyre (w1) + 2 x thickness of wearing coat (h)

contact width of tyre for class AA Vehicle (w 1) 0.85 m
thickness of wearing coat (h) 0.08 m
b1 = 0.85+2*0.08 = 1.01 m

bef = α x ( l - x / l ) +b1 = 3 x 2.68 x (1-2.68/5.36) + 1.01

= 5.03 m

Effective dispersion width of the wheels

23.65

Efeective disperstion width of two vehicles 11.29 m

Effective length of dispersion = length of tyre contact + 2 x overall thickness of deck

length of tyre contact for IRC Class AA vehicles 3.6 m

Overall thickness of deck 0.4+0.08 0.48 m
Effective length of dispersion (ld) 3.6+ 2 x 0.48 4.56 m

2
Area of dispersion of total vehicles load (A) 4.56 x 11.29 51.48 m

Impact factor
Impact for IRC Class AA loading is 25% for spans upto 5m and linearly reduces
to 10% for a span ofr 9m
 If = 25-(25-10)/(9-5) x (5.36-5) %
= 0.2365
Load of one tracked vehicle (Class AA) (W) 700 kN
2
Intenisty of loading (wl) =(1+ If )x(2* W) / A 33.63 kN/mm

Maximum bending moment when the load is at center of slab

Reaction at support (R) =wl x ld/2 76.67 kN

bending moment at the center =R x l/2 - wl x ( ld /2 ) x ( ld /4 ) = 118.06 kNm

Design bending moment = Dead Load B.M. + Live Load B.M.

=40.80+118.06= 158.86 kNm

Maximum shear force - live load

bef = α x (1 - x / l ) +b1
center of gravity distance (x) of the wheel ld/2 = 2.28
bef = α x ( l - x / l ) +b1 = 3 x 2.28 x (1-2.28/5.36) + 1.01
= 4.94 m
Effective width of dispersion of two vehiles is calcualted as

Effective width of dispersion = 11.09 m

Effective length of dispersion (ld) = 4.56 m
2
Load will be spread over a area (As) = 11.09 x 4.56 = 50.57 m
Intensity of Loading for shear calculation (ws) =(1+ If )x(2* W) / As 34.23
Maximum Shear Force =ws x ld x (l-x)/l 89.70 kN
Design shear force = Dead Load S.F.+ Live Load S.F.
=30.44+89.70 = 120.14 kN
