The envelope of the peak reactions from file peak_rctSet1.sum are displayed in a
Notepad application. These give a summary of the peak reactions obtained from all of
the individual nodes of the bridge structure for each of the moving load speeds
analysed. The vertical (FZ) component of interest shows consistently that the maximum
positive reaction (from a downward force) occurs at node 82 and the maximum
negative reaction (from an upward force) occurs at node 112. Results for speeds of
55m/s and 60m/s are shown in the following figure.
