LLDF
LLDF
(OP)
Dear Bridge engs,
I am comparing the various methods used in the practice for calculation of live load distribution factor (LLDF) for various load effects. Please share your approach and the limitation if any that you faced.
Also, if someone has S-over equations, I'd be grateful to share it with me.
Thanks everyone for sharing their viewpoint.
Cheers,

RE: LLDF
The wheel load distribution factor equations from the AASHTO Standard Specification (AASHTO 1996) are called “S-over” equations, which is only dependent upon the girder spacing.

RE: LLDF
I am doing parametric study and need to compare it with some other approaches used for LLDF.

RE: LLDF
I have confusion wrt lever rule. In figure below, I want to find out LLDF using lever rule for exterior and interior girders on three-cell box girder.
Please correct me if above procedure is inaccurate.
