Concentrated load on Elevated slab
Concentrated load on Elevated slab
(OP)
One way 300mm elevated slab for 300kN wheel load over 392mmx500mm contact area (. Punching shear is OK, we're having difficulty satisfying the one way shear. Has anyone delt with this type of situation ? Much appreciated.

AS3600 gives a dimension on this based on a formual using width from nearest support in clause 9.6, but I think its width is too much also.
I would use somewhere between
width of load + 2D (if the load is near the support)
and
width of the load + .3 of the distance to the nearest support (for a load at midspan).
