Distribute the weight of one railing to no more than three beams.

Use section properties provided on the Prestressed Concrete Decked Slab Beams Details (DSBD) standard drawings.

Live load distribution factors for all beams (both moment and shear) must conform to Table 4.6.2.2.2b-1, using cross section (j) if beams are connected only enough to prevent relative vertical displacement at their interfaces. Use K = 2.0 when determining the live load distribution factor.

Use S/10 as maximum limit on live load distribution.

Do not apply the skew correction factor for moment as suggested in Article 4.6.2.2.2e.

Do not take the live load distribution factor for moment or shear as less than the number of lanes divided by the number of girders, including the multiple presence factor per Article 3.6.1.1.2.
