Dynamic Amplification Factor: The Dynamic Amplification Factor calculated by the program is considered based on the equation given below. qka is the basic axle load in kN. The DAF values could be different for the different axles depending on their loads.DAF for each axle of SV or SOV load model Overload Factor: The Overload Factor calculated is taken as 1.2 for the worst critical axle and 1.1 for all other axles of SV or SOV load models. Vehicle Speed: • Where the SV or SOV load model is moving at ‘normal’ speed the associated HA loading is not applied within 25 meters from the center of outer axles (front and rear) of the SV or SOV load model. • Where the SV or SOV load model is moving at ‘low’ speed the associated HA loading is not applied within 5 meters from the center of outer axles (front and rear) of the SV or SOV load model.Typical application of SV or SOV and associated HA loading Note: Transverse wheel arrangement for the SV or SOV load models In case of SV or SOV load models, the longitudinal wheel spacing is taken into account in the analysis according to the provision of BD 86/11. However, the transverse wheel spacing is taken differently from the code provision. The load in one axle is equally divided into four and the spacing between wheels is taken from ‘Wheel Spacing’ entered when defining the Traffic Line/Surface Lanes. Therefore for any SV/SOV load models the effect due to the true transverse spacing between wheels could not be captured but rather the effect due to equivalent four wheels is captured. a) SV 80 in the code provision b) SV 80 in the analysis (1m: Wheel Spacing defined in Traffic Line/Surface Lane) Application of SV 80 a) Lateral wheel arrangement of SOV load models in the code provision b) Lateral wheel arrangement of SOV load models in the analysis Application of SOV load models Thus when the vehicle placement corresponding to the SV/SOV is visualized using the Moving Load Tracer, the transverse wheel arrangement will be the same as b) in the above figures. This is not the actual transverse wheel arrangement. In order to consider the effects of SV/SOV load models with the actual wheel arrangement, the program automatically generates the actual wheel arrangement in the static loads converted from Moving Load Tracer and thus the static analysis results obtained using the converted static loads will reflect the SV/SOV load models corresponding to the actual wheel spacing, which will lead to the slight difference in the results between Moving Load Case and corresponding Static Load Case converted from Moving Load Tracer.

Revision of Civil 2018 V3.1
Various Load Models as per EN1991-92 can be defined here. These Load Models include: Load Model 1: Concentrated and uniformly distributed loads, which cover most of the effects of the traffic of lorries and cars. Load Model 2: A single axle load applied on specific tyre contact areas. Load Model 3: A set of assemblies of axle loads representing special vehicles (e.g. for industrial transport) which can travel on routes permitted for abnormal loads. It includes special vehicles as per Eurocode recommendation as well as UK National Annex. Load Model 4: A crowd loading. Below are the dialog boxes corresponding to the Load Models: Note1 Types of Load Model 3 Special vehicles In case of Load Model 3, there exists two kinds of special vehicles:the recommended special vehicles as per EN 1991-2 and the straddling special vehicles as per UK national annex. Straddling between two lanes are not supported for the recommended Load Modal 3 special vehicles. These include Load Model 3(600/150) Load Model 3(900/150) Load Model 3(1200/150/200) Load Model 3(1800/150/200) Load Model 3(2400/200) Load Model 3(3000/200) Load Model 3(3600/200) For description about the notations and axle loads refer to EN1991-2-Annex A. A load case considering the placement of LM1 and recommended LM3 vehicles can be specified by selecting the LM1 & 3( multi) load model in Moving Load cases (Refer to Moving Load Cases). The special vehicles as per UK national annex can straddle between two lanes by the program. These vehicles include : Load Model 3 (SV 80) Load Model 3 (SV 100) Load Model 3 (SV 196) Load Model 3 (SOV 250) Load Model 3 (SOV 350) Load Model 3 (SOV 450) Load Model 3 (SOV 600). For description about the notations and axle loadings and spacings refer to UK National Annex to Eurocode1:Actions on structures.
Wheel Spacings for the Recommended LM3 vehicles and UK LM3 vehicles In case of Load Model 3 vehicles, the transverse wheel spacing considered is the value of the wheel spacings that has been entered while defining the lanes. Therefore when the Load Model 3 vehicles are used in combination with the Load Model 1 vehicles or in isolation, the same transverse wheel spacings are considered both for the LM3 and LM1 vehicles. In case of Recommended Load Model 3, three wheels at one axle (figure b) are converted into equivalent two wheel loads when placed in combination with Load Model vehicle or when used in isolation. Therefore for any Recommended Load Model 3 vehicle the effect due to the true transverse spacings between the wheels could not be captured but rather the effect due to equivalent two wheels is captured. Thus when the vehicle placements corresponding to the Standardised LM3 and the UK LM3 are visualized using the Moving Load Tracer, the transverse wheel spacing is same as defined in the lanes definition. But this is not the actual transverse wheel spacing corresponding to the straddling vehicles( UK LM3 vehicles).The transverse wheel spacing for straddling SV and SOV as defined in UK National Annex is shown below. Thus to consider the effects of UK LM3 vehicle with the actual wheel spacing, the obtained results from the Moving Load Tracer are converted into static Load using and the program automatically considers the below mentioned spacings in the converted static loads and thus the results obtained using the converted static loads reflect the results corresponding to the true wheel spacings. The transverse wheel spacing for LM3 SV 100(same for other SVs ): 2.65m centre-centre. The transverse wheel spacing for LM3 SOV vehicles.
Note2 Vehicle Placement :When the LM3 vehicles are applied alone, they are applied in the manner shown below. Any LM3 vehicles having three wheels per axle shown in the right side of the image are not supported. This placement applies to only the standardised Load Model 3 vehicles. A load case considering when the placement of LM3 vehicles when applied in isolation is considered using the LM 2,3,4/ FLM 2,3,4/ Footbridge load model in Moving Load cases (Refer to Moving Load Cases). The Standard LM3 vehicles cannot be applied in two lanes so the right hand vehicle placement in the image shown below cannot be achieved. The straddling effect or the placement of vehicle in two lanes can be accounted for the straddling vehicles only by specifying the LM1 & 3( special) Load model in Moving Load cases (Refer to Moving Load cases). Note3 Dynamic Amplification Factor:The value of characteristic loads for Load Models 1,2 and 4 includes the dynamic amplification consideration. But for Load Model 3 special vehicles this dynamic amplification factor needs to be considered separately as it is not included in the axle loads. The dynamic amplification factor can be input manually or calculated automatically by the program. When the vehicle is recommended Load Model 3 vehicle: Dynamic Amplification Factor calculated by the program is considered based on the equation given below. DAF for recommended Load Model 3 vehicles When the vehicle is Load Model 3 as per UK NA: Dynamic Amplification Factor calculated by the program is considered corresponding to the basic axle loads as shown below DAF for UK Load Model 3 vehicles
In case of Load Model 3, additional dynamic amplification factor within a distance of 6 m from an expansion joint is not considered. Representation of the additional amplification factor
EN1991-2:2003 - Footway and Foot Bridge Enter the Load Model acting on Footway or Foot Bridge. For details on input parameters, refer to Section 5.3 in 'Eurocode 1: Action on structures - Part 2 : Traffic loads on bridges'.
EN1991-2:2003 - Road bridge Fatigue Enter the Fatigue Load Model for Road Bridge. For details on input parameters, refer to Section 4.6 in 'Eurocode 1: Action on structures - Part2: Traffic loads on Bridges.'
EN1991-2:2003 - Rail Traffic Load The Rail Traffic Loads as per EN 1991-2:2003 can be specified. The various load models considered in the program are: Load Model 71 (and Load Model SW/0 for continuous bridges) to represent normal rail traffic on mainline railways, Load Model SW/2 to represent heavy loads, Load Model HSLM A/B to represent the loading from passenger trains at speeds exceeding 200 km/h. Dynamic amplification is also considered. Load Model "Unloaded train" to represent the effect of an unloaded train. Longitudinal distribution of a point force or wheel load by the rail A point force in Load Model 71 and HSLM A(A1 to A10) may be distributed over three rail support points as shown below: where : Qvi: point force on each rail due to load model 71 and HSLM A. a: distance between rail support points. Figure 1. Longitudinal distribution of point load
Eccentricity of Lateral Displacement of Vertical Loads According to the clause 6.3.5 of EN 1991-2, the effect of lateral displacement of vertical loads (unbalanced or asymmetric loading of wagons) needs to be considered by taking the ratio of wheel loads on all axles as up to 1.25:1.0 on any one track. This criterion may be used to determine the eccentricity of loading with respect to the center-line of the track. Figure 2. Eccentricity of vertical loads
Note 1 Sign convention of eccentricity: The positive value means that the sum of vertical loads is applied to the right side of the train by the amount of eccentricity with respect to the center of gravity. Figure 3. Sign convention of eccentricity
Note 2 How to consider the effect of lateral displacement of LM 71 on one track only: Suppose there are two tracks named ‘L1’ and ‘L2’ and we want to consider this effect only for the track ‘L1’. Step 1 Define two LM71 models- one with eccentricity (LM 71E) and the other without eccentricity (LM 71). Step 2 In the Moving Load Case, create two sub-load cases as follows: Sub-load case 1: Select the train ‘LM 71E’ and the track ‘L1’. Sub-load case 2: Select the train ‘LM 71’ and the track ‘L2’. Step 3 Select the ‘Combined’ option for Loading Effect
Dynamic effect For HSLM (A1- A10) and HSLM B, a dynamic enhancement is applied as per the factor obtained from the equation below where the value of phi' and phi" are input by the user. This dynamic factor amplifies the static load accordingly but this is very different from the dynamic analysis which needs to be performed separately if the dynamic behavior of the bridge with the vehicle motion has to be considered.

The following vehicles can be selected for performing the moving load analysis. Standard Name Road Bridge and Railway Bridge: SP 35.13330.2011 : SK, AK, N11, N14, Subway and Tramcars SNiP 2.05.03-84 : NG-60 and NK-80 Walkway and Pedestrian loads: SP 35.13330.2011 : Uniform loads, Concentrated loads with and without AK. Vehicular Load Properties AK, SK, SK Fatigue, N14 and N11: The AK, SK, SK Fatigue, N14 and N11 vehicles as defined in the SP 35.13330.2011 contains a multiplier factor (K), which determines the axle load (and in turn the wheel) for moving load analysis. Note. Application of SK and SK Fatigue Normative temporary vertical load, SK, applied by the railroad rolling stock is applied as shown in the example below. The application of loading is changed based on the Load Point Section: Influence Line Dependent Point/ All Point option in the Moving load Analysis Control dialog box. When the influence line is shown as below, for the maximum bending moment:
Load Factor (K) Define the load factor K for the determination of axle load for the moving load analysis. The factor K is multiplied to the following when the units for the loads are KN: AK: 10 SK: 9.81 or 13.73 depending on the value of Influence Load Length (λ) N11: 14 N14: 18 For all other units a conversion is made from KN to obtain the factor to be multiplied to K to obtain the axle load. Default value of K is 14. The value of Axle load (or the wheel load) can be verified from the Moving Load Tracer. Dynamic Factor The dynamic factor can be defined automatically as per the code or manually by the user. The applied dynamic factor can be checked in the moving load tracer, Detail Results text output. The dynamic load factors can be defined in the Vehicle definition dialog box. The displayed material and bridge type can be changed from Moving Load Analysis Control. Automatic Definition of Dynamic Factor: The dynamic factor is defined as per the material ( RC , Steel and SRC) and the type of bridge. The type of material and bridge can be defined in Moving Load Analysis Control. The automatic dynamic factor calculation involves the Influence Load Length (λ) The following procedure is adopted in midas civil for the calculation of λ: Manual Definition of Dynamic Factor: The dynamic factor can be defined manually for UDL and Concentrated Loads individually. Select the vehicles for moving load analysis as per Polish Moving Load Code. The following vehicles can be selected for performing the moving load analysis. Standard Name Road Bridge and Railway Bridge: PN-85/S-10030 : Vehicle K, Vehicle S, Vehicle 2S Walkway and Pedestrian loads: PN-85/S-10030 : Sidewalks/stairs and walkways, Main girders and supports, Service walkways and working platforms Vehicular Load Properties Vehicle K, Vehicle S and Vehicle 2S: Vehicle K, Vehicle S and Vehicle 2S as defined in the PN-85/S-10030 contains a dynamic amplification factor, which determines the axle load for moving load analysis. Note. Application of Vehicle 2S Limitation for vehicle 2S: One axle of Vehicle 2S consists of 4 wheels. In the program, only two wheels are allowed in one axle. Therefore, the wheel spacing in Traffic Line/Surface Lane dialog box should be entered considering the distance between the center lines of two trucks. In moving load tracer, the wheel loads will be placed to the center line of each truck for all the axles. However, the user can convert this loadings into a static load case in which actual positions of 4 wheels are taken into account. Dynamic Amplification Factor The dynamic factor can be defined automatically as per the code or manually by the user. The applied dynamic factor is not reflected in the wheel load value in the moving load tracer, however it is reflected in the analysis results such as member forces/stresses, displacements and reactions. Dynamic amplification factor can automatically be calculated considering span length. For multi-span bridges, average span length is applied as specified in Polish Standard. Span length can automatically be calculated using “Span Start” option in Traffic Line/Surface Lane dialog box. Auto: The dynamic factor is defined as per the code. Phi = 1.35 - 0.005L (unit: meter) 1.00 ≤ Phi ≤ 1.325 User Input: The dynamic factor can be defined manually for Concentrated Loads.

NA (Normal Loading) The load to be applied depends on Effective Loaded Length and Increment of Loaded Length. It does not depend on the lane order. The loaded length causing the worst effect can be in other lane, either parallel on the same span or in the other span as the case may be. NA loading represents normal traffic loading and comprises of 2 parts acting simultaneously: i) Nominal distributed lane loading: ii) Nominal axle load: Load per notional lane = n = Notional lane number
Note Engineering judgement is required whether to consider the relieving effect (opposing effect) of the vehicle or not.
NB (Abnormal Loading) NB loading is a unit loading representing a single abnormally heavy vehicle. Type NB vehicle has no specified load lane and can be placed anywhere in carriage way. NB24 and NB36 vehicles can be selected by selecting the no. of units. 36 units of type NB loading shall be applied, which equals an axle loading of 360 kN and 24 units of type NB loading shall be applied, which equals an axle loading of 240 kN. Load Calculation for Type NB Vehicle: The plan and axel arrangement of Unit NB vehicle is as below:

the element under consideration.
There are 2 codal magnitudes for Type NB Vehicle: i) Type NB36 Loading: Unit NB vehicle shold be multiplied with 36. Load for each wheel = 36 (unit) x 2.5 (kN) = 90kN Load for each axel = 36 (unit) x 4 (wheels) x 2.5 (kN) = 360kN ii) Type NB24 Loading: Unit NB vehicle shold be multiplied with 24. Load for each wheel = 24 (unit) x 2.5 (kN) = 60kN Load for each axel = 24 (unit) x 4 (wheels) x 2.5 (kN) = 240kN
NC (Super Loading) NC loading is a loading representing multi-wheeled trailer combinations (or self-propelled multi-wheeled vehicles) with controlled hydraulic suspension and steering intended to transport very heavy indivisible payloads. NC vehicle has no specified load lane and has to be placed near the center of carriageway with a maximum offset up to 1m unless otherwise specified.
Type
NC vehicle consists of loaded areas only. The
allowable values of a, b and c are as below: Intensity of load in the loaded area is 30 kN/m2. This load is an area load and needs to be converted into UDL in accordance to the placement and distribution method (Cross Beam or Lane Element).

Application of special vehicles refer to EN1991-2-Annex A. A load case considering the placement of LM1 and recommended LM3 vehicles can be specified by selecting the LM1 & 3( multi) load model in Moving Load cases (Refer to Moving Load Cases). The most unfavorable result is produced by considering the entered three Load Cases. Load Model 3 (Straddling): The special vehicles as per UK national annex can straddle between two lanes by the program. For description about the notations and axle loadings and spacings refer to UK National Annex to Eurocode1:Actions on structures. Note Load Model3 (Straddling) Load Model3 (Straddling) vehicle can be considered with variable axile spacing. For example, if the vehicle is composed as shown in the figure below, the variable axle spacing can be specified by entering Axle No. and Min/Max axle spacings. For the last axle, the user needs to specify the spacing "D#" as "0", so that it can be considered as "end" spacing. Wheel spacing during an analysis will be applied as the spacing defined in Traffic Line Lanes/Traffic Surface Lanes. If the wheel spacing is different from the one defined in Traffic Line Lanes/Traffic Surface Lanes, exact wheel spacing can be considered by converting the vehicle loads into static loads using "Write Min/Max Load to File" button in Moving Load Tracer.

Evenly Distributed Wheel Load: By selecting this option, all loads, except P1, are deactivated and the program uses P1 for analysis. Symmetric Vehicle: By selecting this option, the program only uses the wheel loads right-side of the vehicle for analysis. P1, P2, ..., Pn: Enter the wheel loads of each axle. Enter the wheel load starting from the wheel closest to the center. D1, D2, ..., Dn: Enter the distance between the center to the wheel. Indicate right side as (+) and left side as (-). Table: Enter the vehicle load using the defined axle. Type of Axle: Select the defined axle. Spacing: Enter the distance between the axles. Note1 Wheel Spacings for the Recommended LM3 vehicles and UK LM3 vehicles In case of Load Model 3 vehicles, the transverse wheel spacing considered is the value of the wheel spacings that has been entered while defining the lanes. Therefore when the Load Model 3 vehicles are used in combination with the Load Model 1 vehicles or in isolation, the same transverse wheel spacings are considered both for the LM3 and LM1 vehicles. In case of Recommended Load Model 3, three wheels at one axle (figure b) are converted into equivalent two wheel loads when placed in combination with Load Model vehicle or when used in isolation. Therefore for any Recommended Load Model 3 vehicle the effect due to the true transverse spacings between the wheels could not be captured but rather the effect due to equivalent two wheels is captured. Thus when the vehicle placements corresponding to the Standardised LM3 and the UK LM3 are visualized using the Moving Load Tracer, the transverse wheel spacing is same as defined in the lanes definition. But this is not the actual transverse wheel spacing corresponding to the straddling vehicles( UK LM3 vehicles).The transverse wheel spacing for straddling SV and SOV as defined in UK National Annex is shown below. Thus to consider the effects of UK LM3 vehicle with the actual wheel spacing, the obtained results from the Moving Load Tracer are converted into static Load using and the program automatically considers the below mentioned spacings in the converted static loads and thus the results obtained using the converted static loads reflect the results corresponding to the true wheel spacings. The transverse wheel spacing for LM3 SV 100(same for other SVs ): 2.65m centre-centre. The transverse wheel spacing for LM3 SOV vehicles.
Note2 Vehicle Placement :When the LM3 vehicles are applied alone, they are applied in the manner shown below. Any LM3 vehicles having three wheels per axle shown in the right side of the image are not supported. This placement applies to only the standardised Load Model 3 vehicles. A load case considering when the placement of LM3 vehicles when applied in isolation is considered using the LM 2,3,4/ FLM 2,3,4/ Footbridge load model in Moving Load cases (Refer to Moving Load Cases). The Standard LM3 vehicles cannot be applied in two lanes so the right hand vehicle placement in the image shown below cannot be achieved. The straddling effect or the placement of vehicle in two lanes can be accounted for the straddling vehicles only by specifying the LM1 & 3( special) Load model in Moving Load cases (Refer to Moving Load cases). Note3 Dynamic Amplification Factor:The value of characteristic loads for Load Models 1,2 and 4 includes the dynamic amplification consideration. But for Load Model 3 special vehicles this dynamic amplification factor needs to be considered separately as it is not included in the axle loads. The dynamic amplification factor can be input manually or calculated automatically by the program. When the vehicle is recommended Load Model 3 vehicle: Dynamic Amplification Factor calculated by the program is considered based on the equation given below. DAF for recommended Load Model 3 vehicles When the vehicle is Load Model 3 as per UK NA: Dynamic Amplification Factor calculated by the program is considered corresponding to the basic axle loads as shown below DAF for UK Load Model 3 vehicles
In case of Load Model 3, additional dynamic amplification factor within a distance of 6 m from an expansion joint is not considered. Representation of the additional amplification factor
EN1991-2:2003 - Rail Traffic Load Revision of Civil 2014 The Rail Traffic Loads as per EN 1991-2:2003 can be specified. The various load models considered in the program are: Load Model 71 (and Load Model SW/0 for continuous bridges) to represent normal rail traffic on mainline railways, Load Model SW/2 to represent heavy loads, Load Model HSLM A/B to represent the loading from passenger trains at speeds exceeding 200 km/h. Dynamic amplification is also considered. Load Model "Unloaded train" to represent the effect of an unloaded train. Longitudinal distribution of a point force or wheel load by the rail A point force in Load Model 71 and HSLM A(A1 to A10) may be distributed over three rail support points as shown below: where : Qvi: point force on each rail due to load model 71 and HSLM A. a: distance between rail support points. Figure 1. Longitudinal distribution of point load
Revision of Civil 2014 Eccentricity of Lateral Displacement of Vertical Loads According to the clause 6.3.5 of EN 1991-2, the effect of lateral displacement of vertical loads (unbalanced or asymmetric loading of wagons) needs to be considered by taking the ratio of wheel loads on all axles as up to 1.25:1.0 on any one track. This criterion may be used to determine the eccentricity of loading with respect to the center-line of the track. Figure 2. Eccentricity of vertical loads
Note 1 Sign convention of eccentricity: The positive value means that the sum of vertical loads is applied to the right side of the train by the amount of eccentricity with respect to the center of gravity. Figure 3. Sign convention of eccentricity
Note 2 How to consider the effect of lateral displacement of LM 71 on one track only: Suppose there are two tracks named ‘L1’ and ‘L2’ and we want to consider this effect only for the track ‘L1’. Step 1 Define two LM71 models- one with eccentricity (LM 71E) and the other without eccentricity (LM 71). Step 2 In the Moving Load Case, create two sub-load cases as follows: Sub-load case 1: Select the train ‘LM 71E’ and the track ‘L1’. Sub-load case 2: Select the train ‘LM 71’ and the track ‘L2’. Step 3 Select the ‘Combined’ option for Loading Effect
Dynamic effect For HSLM (A1- A10) and HSLM B, a dynamic enhancement is applied as per the factor obtained from the equation below where the value of phi' and phi" are input by the user. This dynamic factor amplifies the static load accordingly but this is very different from the dynamic analysis which needs to be performed separately if the dynamic behavior of the bridge with the vehicle motion has to be considered.
