Fire tender loading- consider from IRC 6 loading code.

As (i) 20 tonne SA and (ii) 40 tonne BA

Some crude check of extent of udL loading can be seen as under:

It involves (i) computation of effective width for conc load at critical

placement of wheels
,(ii) and further determination of dispersion length of concentrated load
along span of slab.

For BM computations , load can be placed centrally

Even assuming both wheels to be single load at centre for simplicity of calcls

20 T SA Loading

Dispersion width (perpendicular to sapn) of slab as

one way = k*x *[1- x/L ] + a
ignoring the tyre tread width ,a being less than,0.3m

ForL/B =1.0 the k = 2.24 for continuous slabs(IS 456)

Position forr maximum BM is x= L/2 ie placed at midspan

beff = 2.24*L/2*[1-L/2/L ] + a( ignore) = 0.56*L

Axle load (of two wheels ) =2*10000 Kg

one way loading w= (2*10000)/(0.56*L) =[35715/L] kg/m as

conentrated line load of width 0.56*L at centre,if
dispersion length along span is ignored
Taking Dispersion length along span
Consider minimum 200 thk slab and 50mm finishes
Dispersion along span = 2.79+2*(0.20+0.05)=3.29m
(2.79 as axle width over wheels since calcs are
done combining both wheels of axle for simplicity)

reduction for two way behavior = 20%

Also reduction for continuity = 10%

(due to adjacent span not loaded)

the net LL loading for design

= 0.8*0.90*[35715/L] /3.29 =(7815/L) kg/m2

Though this load will act on strip length of 3.29m along span
(placed centrally sym.) it may be taken as acting on full span
to assess the extent of udl (conservative)

Thus the approx extent udl (conservative) based on span is:

span 4.0m Loading =1954 Kg/m2 plus 25% extra for impact
span 6.0m Loading =1303 Kg/m2 plus 25% extra for impact
span 8.0m Loading =977 Kg/m2 plus 25% extra for impact

40 T BA Loading

Dispersion width of slab as one way = k*x *[1- x/L ] + a

For l/b =1.0 the k = 2.24 for continuous slabs

x= L/2 ie placed at midspan

beff = 2.24*L/2*[1-L/2/L ] + ignore a = 0.56*L

Effective width of Bogey axle generally overlap

Effective width per axle = (0.56*L+1.22)/2 =0.28*L+0.61

(c/c between axles = 1.22m)
one way loading w= (2*10000)/(0.28*L+0.61) kg/m as
conentrated line load of width( 0.28*L+0.61) at centre,if
dispersion length along span is ignored
Taking Dispersion length along span
Consider minimum 200 thk slab and 50mm finishes
Dispersion along span = 2.79+2*(0.20+0.05)=3.29m
(2.79 as axle width over wheels)

reduction for two way behavior = 20%

Also reduction for continuity = 10%

(due to adjacent span not loaded)

the net LL loading for design

= 0.8*0.90*[(2*10000)/(0.28L+0.61)] /3.29 kg/m2

Though this load will act on strip length of 3.29m along span
(placed centrally sym.) it may be taken as acting on full span length to
assess the extent of udl(conservative)..

Thus the extent of udl (conservative) based on span is:

span 4.0m Loading =2530 Kg/m2 plus 25% extra for impact
span 6.0m Loading =1911 Kg/m2 plus 25% extra for impact
span 8.0m Loading =1536 Kg/m2 plus 25% extra for impact

Bogey Axle Governs the design

It may be seen that dimensions of slab panel are important for
extent of dispersion .
Only a rough estmate of UDL
Shear check will be critical and load position would be
nearing supports
