Note: 1) For load dispersal refer IRC:21-2000 clause 305.16.3, where in addition to the dimension of tyre contact area over the wearing surface, twice the overall depth of the slab including the wearing course thickness is considered. In the above case, since the length of the wheel is more than the total width of box at top i.e., 3.84m further dispersal by "2d" is not possible, hence not taken. In case where the length of load is less than the width of box but works out more when "2d" is added, the dispersal length shall be restricted to top width of box. As the load of the wheel after dispersal in transverse direction does not over lap, both the wheels need to 2) be taken separately. 3) This shall be the load when is zero and live load is taken to disperse through wearing coat only.
