HELP
Truck worksheet
Use the scroll bar to choose the number of axles. Input axle Xcoordinates
in ascending order beginning with 0.0 for the first axle. Input the axle
weights
Bridge worksheet
Use the scroll bar to choose the number of spans. For each span, input the
span length L, uniform load q and number of divisions.
Program
2 to 20 axles and 1 to 5 spans with EI constant throughout. Truck will
move from left to right with the first axle in front. Critical values of
shears (absolute values) and moments will be computed on each
division point. Total number of divisions must be less then 500.
Results and graphs are displayed on Results, MEnvelope and
VEnvelope worksheets.
