Calculation of Rotation (ad) With live load

For simply supported span rotation may be computed by the following relationship.

ad = 400 x Mmax x L x 10 ^ -3 /E I

Ec = 5000 x 30 = 27386 MPa = 3E+10 Pa

For permanent Load = Ec / 2 = 1.4E+10 Pa

Total Movement in elongation = 7.909 + -4.16 + 0.00 = ### mm

Total Movement in contraction = -7.91 + -4.16 + 0.00 = -12.07 mm

Total movement after including 12mm deflection at scour level

Total movement = 3.75 + 12 = 15.75 mm say 17.00 mm
