Accoring to LRFD AASHTO 4.6.2.1.8 you have to calculate the live load moment with the equations provided in that section.
They specify the "D" value as EIx / EIy where Ix and Iy are the unit moments of intertia in the main and perpendicular to main directions respectively. These moments of intertia have to be computed for the cracked section using the transformed area method.
I asked a steel grid manufacturer (IDSI) and they say they don't provide the Iy value in their propety tables but there are some AASHTO recommended D values.
Question: Does anybody know where to find those recommended "D" values or another manufacturer that provide Ix and Iy, or how to go around this problem?
