About this document
Distribution Factor Analysis for NSG Vehicles by iv54 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes using distribution factor analysis in Virtis software to analyze the load distribution of a non-standard gauge vehicle on a bridge superstructure. It discusses modeling the vehicle and its path, performing a 3D and 2D finite element analysis to calculate distribution factors, and using these factors in a traditional girder-line analysis. The example analyzes a sample bridge to determine the adequacy of its superstructure for a non-standard gauge vehicle.
