Was wondering your thoughts on what these numbers with the attached layout would physically do to the structural slab? It's residential loading on that level with a bearing wall above.

Slab is 5" with composite deck, 1 1/2", 20 ga, headed studs exist on beams at about 12" o.c.

Loads from bearing wall (non-factored loads):

800 plf dead
960 plf live (full live load reduction taken)
1600 plf live (no reduction) - edited... all plf. Double wood bearing wall above.

There is no steel support underneath the bearing wall from above and it is 1'-9" from the main girder. What will happen most likely?
