b) Slab with more than two girders
Two charts were prepared and equations are drived from the "Trend line" both forpositive and negative moments. Though the spacing is center to center of support, consideration
is taken for the reduction with monoliticity and width of the web. For the derivation of the equation
look at the "Slab design coeff." calculations. For slab supported on two girders, the overhang cantilever
moment is compared with this value and the maximum is taken.
Let x be the center to center of girder spacing.

GB.5.1.4 Calculation of live load deflection using the effective moment of inertia
The live load deflection at middspan for different loading conditions that is analogous to the moving
load pattern is given as follows:
- When investigating the maximum absolute deflection, all design lanes should be loaded; and all
supporting components should be assumed to deflect equally.
- The live load portion of load combination Service I of Table 3-3( i.e, load factors for both live
and dead load equal to 1.0) with dynamic load allowance factor should be applied.
P with IM = 385.7 kN w lane load = 18.6 N/mm
x =l/2 = 8.3 def. Lane =5wl4/(384EI) = 5.50 mm
Px/(6eIl) = 9.61E-12 mm-2
According to Chapter 3,- The live load deflection should be taken as the larger of :
* That resulting from the design truck alone, or
* That resulting from 25 percent of the design truck together with the design lane load.

For Vehicular load, the deflection limit is equal to Span/800.
