To Enter the Assessed Live Load Limit - Manual Method

For asset types that support load management, user accounts with the proper authority can manually add an effective load to an asset. An effective load capacity may also be created automatically, as result of an activity or event.

Note that an asset may display more than one Assessed Live Load value. For example, this may occur when an Engineer deems that a location or direction has a different capacity, and therefore that value may also be recorded.

Follow these steps to manually add an effective load capacity to an asset.

  1. Open the asset for which you want to add an effective load.
  2. Select the Load tab. This tab displays all load management information for the asset.
  3. From the Actions menu, select Add Effective Load.
    Note: If there are no Assessed Live Load values assigned to this asset, you can click Add Effective Load in the list area.
    The Add Effective Load dialog appears.
  4. Select a Location from the list.
    Note: This field is required.
  5. Select a Direction from the list. Your choices are Decreasing Kilometerage, Increasing Kilometerage, or Both.
    Note: This field is required.
  6. You can enter an Assessment Live Load (ALL) in the box provided.
    Note: The ALL value is derived from the source of the information, for example:
    • Assessed: The value originates from an Activity Event
    • Restriction: The value originates from a Signed Weight Restriction
    • Design: The value originates from the Original Design Load
    • Remedial Design: The value originates from a Remedial Design Load.
  7. You can enter a Eurocode in the box provided.
  8. You can enter the HB Units with ALL in the box provided.
  9. You can enter the HB Units without ALL in the box provided.
  10. You can enter the SV with ALL in the box provided.
  11. You can enter the SV without ALL in the box provided.
  12. Click Save. The Effective Load is added to the asset and in appears in the summary table.
  13. You can enter additional comments in the Load Management Comments box.
  14. Repeat Steps 3 to 13 for each additional Assessed Live Load that you want to record.
