The wheel load distribution width is used to consider transverse distribution effect when bridge is designed. But, the wheel load distribution width of R.C. slab which has a structural difference is used to design the R.C. rahmen bridge. This study aims to propose equations of wheel load distribution width for R.C. rahmen bridge. MIDAS GENw program, finite element analysis program, was utilized to calculate the wheel load distribution width. Result of finite element analysis that use MIDAS GENw was analyzed by SPSS that is the statistical analysis program. The proposed equations in this study compared with domestic bridge design code and AASHTO LRFD code. These equations can be used usefully when R.C. rahmen bridge design.
