Hi,
I'm wondering if CONSPAN considers 90% the truck load when running double truck as per AASHTO LRFD 3.6.1.3 for negative moments or does it take the full truck loads?
AASHTO 3.6.1.3:
"For negative moment between points of contraflexureunder a uniform load on all spans, and reaction atinterior piers only, 90 percent of the effect of two designtrucks spaced a minimum of 50.0 ft between the leadaxle of one truck and the rear axle of the other truck,combined with 90 percent of the effect of the designlane load."
Thanks.
Hi ,
Conspan does considers 90% of the truck load when running double truck as per AASHTO LRFD 3.6.1.3 for negative moments.The application of 90% of the negative moment as per AASHTO code is hard coded in the program.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinay
