Braking Page EC
The braking load is calculated according to EC 1991-2, 4.4.
The load is considered to be applied uniformly distributed in longitudinal direction along the roadway axis acting at the finished roadway level and in case of grillage modeling distributed proportionally to all applicable main girders.
Setting | Description |

Total braking load | Braking force according to EC 1991-2, 4.4.1 expression (4.6) Qlk = 0.6×αQ1×(2×Q1k) + 0.10×αq1×q1k×wl×L as a fraction of the total vertical load on notional lane 1 (see traffic load definition). |
Height of application | Distance between the cross-section slab surface and the level of the finished roadway. |
Total line load | Intensity of the line load deriving from dividing the total braking force over the length of the bridge as defined in | .
