How do you calculate and apply the braking force for a 2-span integral abutment bridge with a concrete encased pile bent fixed pier. After calculaitng the governing load (i.e. 25% Truck load or 5% Truck+lane) do you simply distribute this load the each fixed substructure proportionately? In the equations do you use the total length of the bridge?
