SLAB DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Determined optimal beam spacing (1.90 m) Used different track measurements

Cases Considered Each of the four vehicles centered on the span Each of the four vehicles as far to one edge as possible Smallest and largest vehicles with one tire centered on the

span (basically the same as vehicle at edge)

Checked against 0.15 m slab depth to ensure that the moment created would be safe

0.15 m was estimate for slab depth used when designing beam, so recalculation was not necessary
