Weight of the deck slab = 6.25 KN/m
2
Weight of the wearing coat = 1.1 KN/m
2
Total weight = 7.35 KN/m

Since the slab is supported on all 4 sides and being continuous, Piegauds curve is used
to get the influence coefficients to compute the moments.
Ratio k = Short span/Long span = 0.68
1/k = 1.47

w = Total dead weight = 220.37 KN
Moment along short span = (m1+0.15 x m2) x w = 18.79 KN-m
Moment along long span = (m2+0.15 x m1) x w = 10.36 KN-m
2. Live load bending moment due to IRC class AA tracked vehicle :

One track of tracked vehicle is placed symmetrically in one panel as shown
Impact factor fraction = 25 % (as the span is < 5 m)
1) Track contact spacing = 0.85 m
2)Thickness of the slab = 0.25 m
3) Thickness of wearing coat = 0.05 m

DESIGN OF CANTILEVER SLAB
Moment due to Dead Load
The total maximum moment due to dead load/ mtrs width of cantilever slab is computed as follows
Description Load (KN) Lever arm Moment (KN-m)
1) Hand rails 1.74 1.03 1.78
2) Kerb 0 0.9 0.00
3)Wearing coat 1.00 0.3 0.30
4)Slab 7.5 0.6 4.50

Total 7.84
Moment due to Live Load
Due to the specified minimum clearence,Class AA loading will not operate on the cantilever slab.
Hence Class A loading is to be considered.
Effective width of dispersion e=(1.2*x)+w
Where, x = 0.2 m
w = 0.402 m
Hence e = 0.642 m
When the wheel load is at the edge of the slab near an abutment,the net effective width of dispersion
is given by, = 0.446 m
Live load per metre width including impact = 1917 KN
Maximum bending moment due to live load = 38.34 KN-m
Reinforcement
Main Reinforcement
Total bending moment due to dead load and live load = 46.19 KN-m
Effective depth required = 141.71 mm
Effective depth provided = 200 mm
Area of main reinforcement required = 1051.7
Diameter of the bar = 16
Number of bars required = 5.2306 6
Ast provided = 1206.4
Spacing of bars = 166.67
Distribution Reinforcement
Area of distribution steel = 240 mm2
Diameter of the bar = 8 mm
Number of bars required = 4.78
Provide number of bars = 5.00
Therefore Ast provided = 251.2 mm2
Spacing of the bars = 200 mm
