Dear Engineers,
I have working on Bridge design...
Is it possible to apply moving load (HA and HB ) in Bridge deck using BS code...
Can any one help me on this issue and tell me how to apply those load plz.../
I am unable to find it...
Have a look at section TR.31.1 of the Technical Reference manual. You can
a) choose a vehicle whose parameters are built into the program like the AASHTO HS20 or HS15
or
b) define the parameters of that vehicle (load thru each wheel of an axle, spacing between axles, etc.)
Data for vehicles from the British standards is not built into the program. Hence, you will have to specify it using method (b).
