Mobile crane on flat plate

Mobile crane on flat plate

(OP)
I have been asked to check if post tensioned flat plate could support mobile crane. The slab had been fully stressed and formwork removed. The crane will be driven on and parked only in a specific area.

It is possible to backprop, but I'm not quite sure how to analyse the spans. Do I treat the backprops as supports? Should I include the design loads in the analysis since the slab could now support all the loads it is designed for. ie. selfweight, superimposed dead and live load.
