class B type of loading is similar to class A loading excep-t _that the axle
loads are comparatively of lesser magnitude. The axle loadl of Class B
are a
type of
332 kN train of wheelei'vehicles on eight axles as shown in Fig.2.3. This
loading is adopted for temporary structures and timber bridges. Combinations of
clause 204.3
differeirt types of live loads are recommended for the design of bridges in
of IRC: 6-2014. The carriageway live load combination recommended for design is
compiled in Table 2.1.
