Vinay/Burak, I was working on the same file I emailed you last time and I have another issue this time. I was trying to lower the width of the roadway to see the loading for a phased construction and when I change it, it changes the bearing spacing and length of the bents automatically. It will get load rating factors of Zero for just changing the width of the road at all locations where I had a reasonable RF for the full width. Please advise. Thanks!
