Purpose:  Used to determine centrifugal effect on wheel loads. 

 

-->    Given in girder system input

 

Used for a factor that is applied to each wheel load on a curved grid representing the overturning effect from centrifugal effects.  For example, a value of 0.10 increases the wheel load on one end of the axle by a factor of 1.10 and decreases the other wheel load by a factor of 0.90.  If not given the appropriate specification expressions will be used by default.  Only applicable to direct lane loading, i.e. not applicable to distribution factor / lane loading approach.
