BROAD GAUGE-1676 mm
Equivalent Uniformly Distributed Loads (EUDL) in kilo Newtons (tonnes) on each
track, and Coefficient of Dynamic Augment (CDA). For Bending Moment, L is equal to
the effective span in metres. For Shear Force, L is the loaded length in metres to give the
maximum Shear Force in the member under consideration. The Equivalent Uniformly
Distributed Load (EUDL) for Bending Moment (BM), for spans upto 10m, is that uniformly
distributed load which produces the BM at the centre of the span equal to the absolute
maximum BM developed under the standard loads. For spans above 10m, the EUDL for BM
is that uniformly distributed load which produces the BM at one-sixth of the span equal to the
BM developed at that section under the standard loads. EUDL for Shear Force (SF) is that
uniformly distributed load which produces SF at the end of the span equal to the maximum
SF developed under the standard loads at that section. NOTE:
(1) Cross girders – The live load on a cross girder will be equal to half the total load for
bending in a length L, equal to twice the distance over centres of cross girders.
(2) L for Coefficient of Dynamic Augment (CDA) shall be as laid down in clause 2.4.1.
(3) When loaded length lies between the values given in the table, the EUDL for Bending
Moment and Shear Force can be interpolated.
