What is the recommended approach for performing vehicle load analysis for a 13-span concrete bridge assessment according to CS 454, when the required (All Model 1) BD21 Appendix D vehicles are not included in the current version of Midas software? How can a user vehicle be defined and moved through the bridge in this case?

Answer:

Currently, it seems not possible to apply all model 1. Even though you can define the vehicle using user-defined vehicle, there are other factors to be applied together like impact factor, lane factor which I think is not possible to consider. Our plan to implement this is scheduled in May.
