Moment of Interia of garing per meter width (Iw) = Kbd^3/12 Maximum Unstiffening Span length (L) Maximum Bending Moment for grating per meter of width (Mw)=F*Sw Design For Load case 1 - Concentrated Load at Center Maximum Bending Moment (Mw) = PL/4

so Maximum allowable concentrated load on grating per meter(P) = 4 Mw / L = 16.83 Actual concentrated load on grating are (P) actual = 4.5 So Actual laod P(actual) < Max.Allowable load , so grating are safe in Bending as per Table 1 of SAES-M-001 Maximum bending deflection due to actual concentrated load (DL) = PL^3 / 48EI

Design For Case 2 - Uniform Distributed Load over 1m^2 span Maximum Bending Moment (Mw) = wl^2 / 8 So maximum allowable uniform load on grating per meter sq. w= [(Mw*8)/l^2 ]/l Actual Distributed load on grating are (P) actual per meter sq.
