ANSWER:
The application of 90% of the negative moment as per AASHTO code is hard coded and can’t be changed but one work around solution to this problem is to do 2 runs one by creating custom vehicle by increasing the present axle loads by 10% (that will be 110%) and then the program will apply 90% of it and then the user should be getting 100% of negative moment between dead load contra flexure points .And also the user needs to run one more file with default axle loads just to compare the results.
