This is the fifth screen in the tab series.

To run an analysis, click Run Analysis. Once the analysis is finished, the results will appear on-screen,as shown below. If needed, use the scroll bar on the right side of the screen to view any results that may not be visible. Use the lists to select what type of results you would like to view. For example, in the Type list, select either load case or envelope results, where load case results are raw data results and envelope results have already been multiplied by the appropriate load factors for Limit States, amplification factors, dynamic load factors, etc.

When activated, the Analysis Factors screen will default to the Distribution tab, as shown in Figure 2. The calculated dead load and transverse live load distribution factors will appear on the screen. You can select the Computed option to allow the program to calculate the factors or select the Manual option to have the program use customized or user-defined factors. For customized or user-defined factors, you must select the specific span and beam and then check the Manual option and overwrite the calculated values in the text boxes. For more information about calculation of distribution factors, see Distribution of Loads in the theory section. The Dynamic allowance Load factor is currently set to a constant value of 0.3 in Precast/Prestressed Girder for truck/axle loads. You could modify this value in this screen.

Click Apply to All Beams to allows users to select how to apply the current distribution factor settings to other beams.

Figure 3 shows the Load Factors Tab, with the default factors for dead and live loads set according to CHBDC Table 3.1 and Table 3.2. Precast/Prestressed Girder will check stresses in the Service Limit State combination 1 and check ultimate moment and vertical shear under the Ultimate Limit State Combination 1. A link to the table from CHBDC is also provided on this dialog as a reference.
