2) DEPTH DETERMINATION:

O/D FOR 5.5m SPAN = 440 mm …(Assuming 80mm depth required for 1m span)
EFFECTIVE DEPTH = 397.5 mm …(Assuming 25mm dia bars to be used)
EFFECTIVE SPAN (Maximum of):
I) ln+d = 5.8975 m
II) C/C dist. b/w supports = 5.9 m

= 5.9 m

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

D.L OF SLAB = 10.56 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= 12.76 KN

BENDING MOMENT = 12.76 X 5.9^2/8 = 55.52 KNm/m

SHEAR FORCE = 12.76 X 5.5 /2 = 35.09 KNm/m

4) LIVE load bending moment and shear force CALCULATION:

EFFECTIVE LENGTH OF DISPERSION = 3.6+2 x (440+100)/1000 = 4.68 m

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

TOTAL BREADTH OF CARRIAGEWAY = 7.5 m

ASPECT RATIO = 1.61
VALUE OF α FOR ASPECT RATIO 1.61 FROM CHART IS = 2.88
x= 2.95 m
b1= 1.05 m
2.88x2.95x(1-2.95/5.9)+1.05= 5.3 m

TOTAL EFFECTIVE BREADTH OF DISPERSION :

Bf = 2.625+2.05+2.65= 7.325 m
2.625 2.05 2.65

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

ASPECT RATIO = 1.61

VALUE OF α FOR ASPECT RATIO 1.61 FROM CHART IS = 2.88
x= 2.34 m
b1= 1.05 m
2.88x2.34x(1-2.34/5.9)+1.05= 5.12 m
2.625 2.05 2.56
TOTAL EFFECTIVE BREADTH OF DISPERSION :
Bf = 2.56+2.05+2.56= 7.17 m

5) impact factor:
IMPACT FACTOR = 0.21625
TOTAL LIVE LOAD = 851.375 KN
0.61 4.68
6) CALCULATION OF MAXIMUM BENDING MOMENT :
24.84
 TOTAL DISPERSION AREA = 7.325 X 4.68 = 34.281 m2
UNIT LIVE LOAD = 851.375 / 34.281 = 24.84 KN/m2
5.9
MAX BENDING MOMENT(L.L)= (24.84x4.68/2X5.9/2)-(24.84x4.68/2x4.68/4)
= 103.46 KNm/m
TOTAL BENDING MOMENT AT MID-SPAN (DL+LL)= 103.46 + 55.52 = 158.99 KNm/m

6) CALCULATION OF MAXIMUM SHEAR FORCE :

TOTAL DISPERSION AREA = 33.56 m2

UNIT LIVE LOAD = 851.375 / 33.56 = 25.37 KN/m2

MAX SHEAR FORCE (L.L) = 24.84x4.68x(5.9-4.68/2)/5.9 4.68

70.145 KN/m
TOTAL S.F AT SUPPORT (DL+LL) = 70.14 +35.09 = 105.24 KN/m 24.84
