Live load:
Thickness of deck slab = 0.4 m
Thickness of wearing coat = 0.075 m
Density of wearing Coat = 22 kN/m3
Density of reinforced Concrete = 25 kN/m3
Clear distance between piers = 3 m
Width of bearing = 0.8 m
Assuming dia of main bar = 25 mm
Clear cover = 40 mm
Effective depth = 348 mm
Effective span Lc+b = 3+0.8 = 3.8 m
or
Lc+d = 3+0.35 = 3.35 m
Effective span considerd = min (3.8 ,3.35) = 3.35 m
Impact Factor for Class AA tracked load with span up to 5m, as per IRC-6-2017, (25%) = 1.25
Effective span = 3.35 m
Effective length of the load = 3.6+2x( 0.4+0.075) = 4.55 m
Effective width of slab for each track =
kx(1-x/l) + a
where, x = 3.35/2 = 1.67 m
a = 0.85+( 2x0.075) = 1.00 m
width of slab = 7.5+( 2x0.55) = 8.60 m
B/L = 8.6/3.3475 = 2.57 m
K for simple supported slab, as per IRC:21
= 3.00
-2000, Pg: 52
Effective width of slab for each track = 3x1.67(1-(1.67/3.35))+1 = 3.51 m
Distance between face of wheel to face of
= 1.20 m
kerb
The combined effective width for the two
= 0.55+1.2+0.85/2+2.05+3.51/2 = 5.98 m
tracks
Total live load with impact = 1.25x2x350 = 875.00 kN
Load per meter length = 875/5.98 = 146.31 kN/m
Bending Moment, due to Classs AA tracked
= (146.31x3.35/8 ) = 61.22 kN-m/m

Shear force:
Maximum Shear force for live loads max = (73.16, , 29.61) = 73.16 kN/m
Dead load
Self weight of slab = 0.4x25 = 10 kN/m
Self weight of Wearing Coat = 0.075x22 = 1.65 kN/m
Total dead load = 10+1.65 = 11.65 kN/m
Dead load bending Moment = 11.65x3.35^2/8 = 16.32 kN-m/m
Dead load shear force = 11.65x3/2 = 17.48 kN/m
Design ultimate moments and shear forces for cross girder consider load factor as per IRC-6-2017
Span moment, MU
MU = [1.35 x MD + 1.5 x ML] = [(1.35 x 16.32+(1.5 x 61.22)] = 113.86 kN-m/m
Span shear, VU
VU = [1.35 x VD + 1.5 x VL] = [(1.35 x 17.48+(1.5 x 73.16)] = 133.33 kN/m
