Hi, Dear All,
If I calculate live load caused bearing reaction directly as input for RC-Pier, I should consider multiple presence factor and should not consider impact factor in these reaction forces. Am I right? Please let me know. Thanks.
Thanks,
Dong

Unable to select the lane load toggle box is not error in the program. If the user inputs the design truck reactions first and lane load reactions next , the program will automatically apply the impact factor to the Design truck and not the lane load.
Just to avoid confusion the workaround solution for this issue is to first generate the Loads by selecting the Design truck + Lane Load and then input the Design truck reactions with MPF manually and also input the Lane load reactions manually in the cells right next to the toggle box.
Once this is done the impact factor will be applied to only the Design truck reactions , only when the user clicks on Run Analysis button.
Please see the attached screenshot.
