Purpose: Used to generate output for a statically placed truck load in Girder System Projects. (Not applicable to Line Girder Projects.)
--> Given in girder system input
A list of distances from the right boundaries of the lanes as the lanes are initially located, for static truck placement. (Also see GPLACE , TPLACE , TLANES and conditions TRUCK HEADING LEFT and TRUCK HEADING RIGHT ) Default is 2 feet or 0.61 meters. The list is not padded if only one value is given. Use a subscript, such as LPLACE(3) if, say, only the placement in the third lane is different than the default. (Note: specific lane locations must be defined for effective use of static truck placement) The standard truck will be used for static truck placement if both a standard and a nonstandard truck are given.
The standard truck will be used if both a standard and nonstandard truck are given. Nodal forces and displacements for static truck placement are listed in the output directly from the MDX Software girder system analysis. Also generates a STRUDL compatible input file "STRUDL.TRK" so that the user can compare the results from the analysis with those obtained from a general structural analysis package.
