Moving.xlsx is an excel calculation to determine the loads in a span as a vehicle passes over it.

The vehicle can have


up to 10 axel loads making it suitable for the assessment of trains as well as wheeled vehicles.  The end supports of
the span may be fixed, free, pinned or on rollers making this a very flexible tool for designers. The calculation
produces a shear force, bending moment slope and deflection diagrams. Each diagram includes a summary table
showing the maximum shear force, bending moment slope and deflection and the positions where they occur. 

Using a scrollbar the vehicle can be dragged over the span and the diagrams instantaneously update. This interactive
feature of the spreadsheet makes it very easy to understand the calculation. A second scrollbar can be used to
interrogate the shear force, bending moment slope and deflection at any point along the span.
