RATING OF MOVING LOADS

File name is EN981551. This program determines E rating, shears and moments on different spans for heavy loads. Any combination of loads and axle spacing up to 20 axle may be used. Input consists of punched cards containing information on number of cars, number of axle and axle loads. Output consists of span length, bending moment, bending E-rating, shear, shear E-rating, axle under which maximum moment occurs and the distance from that axle to the support. Span length varies from 8 ft. to 400 ft.
