RAIL STRESS CALCULATIONS - UNIT LOAD OF 1 KIP

For given rail sections, the program produces a table of rail stresses by inches from the load point up to 300 inches, for a unit load of 1 Kip. The stress values are shown for various values of the modulus of foundation, ranging from 400 to 3,000 lb/in.
