Example 4 Custom Design
This example highlights the option of inputting precalculated loads. It is basically a re-run of Example 2 but now the operator has precalculated the loads rather than using the inbuilt load calculating function. (Note distributed load W includes live loads).
As expected the same solution was obtained as for Example 2 (allowing for some minor rounding off of load values).
The output load calculations should be inserted.
NOTE: The input convention as detailed in Section 7.1 must be adhered to.
