Load Dispersion

The document discusses load dispersion in solid slab structures spanning in one or two directions. It covers topics such as single concentrated loads, multiple concentrated loads in line and not in line, effective width and span, and dispersion of loads along and across the span. The design of slab culverts is similar to one-way slab design, with the slab bending in the span direction. The design procedure involves general arrangement, calculation of bending moments from dead and live loads using influence lines and dispersion theory, shear force calculation, reinforcement design, shear checking, and drawing and detailing.

• Load Dispersion

1.0 Solid Slab Spanning in one Direction

– Single Concentrated Load

– Two or More Concentrated Loads in line in the


direction of span

– Two or More Concentrated Loads not in line in the


direction of span
A single span Concentrated load

• bo = Effective width of slab


• L = effective span
• X = Distance of CG of load from near support
• bw = breath concentration area
• K = Constant depending upon B/L ratio
Cont.,
3.0 Dispersion of loads along the span
4.0 Dispersion of load in slabs spanning in
two direction

• When slabs are supported by beams – Used in


Girder bridges
Design Principle
• The Design of the Slab culvert is same as that
of the One slab design

• Slab bends on one way direction – along the


span direction
Design Procedure
• General Arrangement of the Structure (Depth ,
Effective span etc.,)

• Dead Load Bending Moment

• Live Load Moment – (Based on the Influence line


diagram and Dispersion theory)

• Shear Force calculation - (Based on the Influence line


diagram and Dispersion theory)
Cont.,
• Design of Deck slab – calculation of Reinforcement

• Check for shear

• Distribution reinforcement

• Drawing & Detailing

• Issue of GFC
