0 Effective width of tyres and load distribution for IRC class Special Vehicle 385 T (SV Class)

Effective span lo = 12.575 m

Total Width of Box culvert b = 14.50 m

Ht of fill (W.C / P.C.C / pavement layers) = 0.050 m

Thickness of deck slab = 0.600 m

Width of Crash barrier / Kerb = 0.50 m

Dist. of edge of crash barrier/guard stone from edge of box = 0.50 m

Span / Width ratio b / lo = 14.50 / 12.58 = 1.15

As per Cl. B3.2 of IRC:112-2011(Page-278), for continous slab

For b / lo = 1.15 ; α = 2.32

Contact area = 4500 / 5.273 400 = 750.76 cm
Breadth = 750.76 / 2.74 = 27.4 cm

Contact area = 274 x 274 mm 750.76 cm

Contact width of tyre in a direction perpendicular to the span = 0.274 m

Wheel dimension perpendicular to span = 0.45 m
Dist. from outer edge of kerb to c.g of wheel = 0.5 + 4.95 + 0.45 / 2 = 5.675 m

Effective width, bef = α a (1 - a / lo) + b1 (Refer Cl. B3.2 of IRC:112-2011)

a = the distance of c.g of concentrated load from nearer support

= 12.58 / 2 - 1.50 / 2 = 4.800 m
b1 = 0.274 + 2 x 0.05 = 0.374 m
Effective width = 2.32246520874751 x 4.80 x (1 - 4.80 / 12.58) + 0.37 = 7.64 m
(Dispersion width ends with in the deck slab) > 1.05 m
(Dispersion width of four wheels overlaps in trans direction)

Effective load in transverse direction = 162.00 t

Effective width for design = 10.641 m

So toatal dispersion width along span = 13.574
Dispersion width for design
