multiply the specified percentage deflection with the 1% load data. easily be calculated by multiplying the width with the given load, divided
by 305 mm. Example : Width of the grating is 914 mm.
2. Uniform load Calculated load : 914/305 = 3 times the load data in the table
This column is providing the uniform load data for two sides

Deflection is proportional with load.
