Minimum clear distance from Crash Barrier to the edge of the end wheel = 0.15 m
Distance between the axles in the direction of traffic = 1.20 m
c/c distance between end wheels in transverse direction = 8.80 m

Contact width of tyre = 500 mm

Contact breadth of tyre = 25 cm

Contact area = 500 x 250 mm

Contact width of tyre in a direction perpendicular to the span = 0.50 m

Wheel dimension perpendicular to span = 0.50 m
Distance from outer edge of kerb to c.g of wheel = 0.90 m

Effective width = α a (1 - a / lo) + b1 (Refer Cl. B3.2 of IRC:112-2011)

a = the distance of c.g of concentrated load from nearer support
