Girder Bridge Transverse Slab

Design
The width of equivalent interior transverse strips (mm)
over which the wheel loads can be considered distributed
longitudinally in CIP concrete decks is given as
Overhang, 1140+0.883 X
Positive moment, 660+0.55 S
Negative moment, 1220+0.25 S
Where X is the distance from the wheel load to centerline
of support and S is the spacing of the T-Beams.
