ST7-1.40.60.5 Bridge Load Influence Combinations
There are two basic approaches to moving load analysis: load influence analysis and transient analysis. This Webnote covers load influence analysis. The first step in moving load analysis is defining a load path. Load paths in Strand7 can be straight, curved, or parabolic, and can have out-of-plane curvature as well. The load path definition includes the path geometry, number of divisions along the length, the element types it should apportion the load to, and a Load Path Template which defines the lanes and vehicles, and their interaction on the path.
