Note: To increase the accuracy of vehicular live load analysis for bridges with crossbeams, the number of Cross Beams may be increased.
This can be done by providing large number of equally spaced fictitious “Cross Beams” in the transverse direction, having weight
density = 0. The depth and width of these “Cross Beams” will be equal to the deck slab thickness and center-to-center distance
between the “Cross Beams”, respectively.
