CALCULATION OF LIVE LOAD REACTION FOR ABUTMENTS FOR THREE LANE BRIDGES

Reaction has been calculated for the following cases

1.
One lane of class 70-R(W)
2.
One lane of class 70-R(T)
3.
One lane of class - A
4.
Two lane of class - A
5.
Three lane of class - A
6.
One lane of class 70-R(W) + One lane of class - A
7.
One lane of class 70-R(T) + One lane of class - A
