SDI Formulas for  Construction Loads
Clear spans may be used in the formulas.
For checking web crippling (bearing) the uniform loading case of concrete weight plus 20 psf is used - ASD is used.
1 span condition

2 span condition

3 span condition
NOTES:
For single spans only, the concrete load shall include either an additional 50% of the concrete weight or 30 psf whichever is less.
* Deflection is to be calculated using only concrete plus deck weights uniformly distributed over all spans.
