Appendix - Custom Design Examples

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.
