Currently in Lusas this is achieved by defining Needs to optimise the lanes/vehicles to get the most onerous loading for eachĮlement that is being checked. Now to be able to do this efficiently, the software Remaining area of 0.144m and in the convoy vehicle loading 3 lanes of 2.5m withĪ remaining area of 1.644m. Where the assessment live loading exceeds 7.5tĬlause 5.16 also requires a udl of 5 kN/m3 to be applied over the remainingįor example I have a carriage of 9.144m, whenĬonsidering the single vehicle loading 3 lanes of 3m should be specified with a
The Lane factors are also interchangeable Widths for single vehicle (3m lane width) and convoy of vehicles (2.5m width).Īnd in table 5.9c lane factors for each lane (1.0įor lane 1 and 2 and 0.5 for lane 3). I'm currently carrying out an assessment to ALL 1 as per CS454.ĬS454 table 5.9a specifies different notional lanes
