Contact width of tyre in a direction perpendicular to the span = 0.

18 m
Wheel dimension perpendicular to span = 0.23 m
Distance from outer edge of kerb to c.g of wheel = 1.82 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

= 1.95 / 2 - 1.22 / 2 = 0.365 m
b1 = 0.18 + 2 x 4.065 = 8.31 m

Effective width = 2.6 x 0.365 x (1 - 0.365 / 1.95) + 8.31 = 9.08 m
