We draw the I.L of shear at that point, we have 2 parts " +ve part and –ve part " so
we will have to make 2 loading cases.
1 – To get the Q (L+I) +ve by loading the +ve part of the diagram only.
2 – To get the Q (L+I) -ve by loading the -ve part of the diagram only.

Note that: L of the impact factor changed, so we have to use different P 1….., so
we must take the strip again.
Important note: In the exam, only calculate the max shear (+ve only)

Note that for Case "1", we will consider that the train is moving to the right with
only locomotive, tender and locomotive & we neglect the last tenders and the
wagons. For the second case we put the last wheel of the last tender on the
required section and recalculate the shear.

Qmax = Q bigger * (1+I) * n * f Where I =

And "l" is the loaded length
Example 1:
For the shown roadway bridge of span 36 m, it is required to calculate the following:
1- Max. And min. moment and max shear on the M.G.
2- The max shear and moment at a section at 1/6 L from support.
