I have a formula which tells me how the forces are arranged on a free body diagram. Is there a way to force it to display a particular bit map picture.
If I wanted text, I could use an if statement and then specify the resulting text to display. Can I use something similar for an object or a...

I believe the appropriate items are listed below...
Place 1 truck with the CG over the pier (you can also check with axles over each bearing if you are worried to check for absolute maximum load), or use the lane load including the point load as directed by AASHTO.
Usually for the span lengths where simple spans are economical truck controls...

"The AASHTO Manual is not quite clear. It seems to be saying that the O.R.L. should be used for an extreme circumstance. Can construction loads from heavy rigging equipment be considered one such circumstance? Or is it meant only for emergencies or...
From above: "What design vehicle is used to analyze existing bridges? An H12 (20 kip axle) seems highly inappropriate as its gross weight would not jibe with the heavier legal trucks on the road?"

If this bridge is not open to the public, I suggest getting an engineer to confirm that your vehicles are really equivalent to an HS20 loading. Your vehicles may not approach HS20. In addition, if this is a private structure with low volumes you may want to design a deck for use under an...
