When a design combination involves only a single case of moving load, further options are available.
The program has an option to request that time history combinations produce sub combinations for
each time step of the time history. Also, an option is available to request that moving load
combinations produce sub combinations using maxima and minima of each design quantity, but with
corresponding values of interacting quantities.
For each load combination, each element is designed or checked at a number of locations along the
length of the element. The locations are based on equally spaced segments along the clear length of
the element.
In the design of concrete beams, in general, the program calculates and reports the required areas of
steel for flexure and shear based on the beam moments, shears, load combination factors, and other
criteria, which are described in detail in the code-specific manuals.
The beam is checked for major direction flexure, shear, and torsion.
In checking the flexural reinforcement for the major moment at a particular section of a particular
beam, the steps involve the determination of the maximum factored moments and the determination
of the reinforcing steel. The beam section is checked for the maximum positive and maximum negative
factored moment envelopes obtained from all of the load combinations.
The program creates a number of default design load combinations for a concrete frame design.
In our case the following Load combination was applied according to ACI 318-4:
1.2D+1.6L
Where D is the dead load and L is the live load, according to ACI 5.3.1 statement.
In checking for a factored negative or positive moment, Mu (i.e., checking top or bottom beam), the
depth of the compression block is given by a (see Figure below), where, the value is taken as that
for a tension controlled section, which is 0.90 by default (ACI 21.2.1, 21.2.2, Table 21.2.1, Table 21.2.2)
in the following equation.

The maximum depth of the compression zone, cmax, is calculated based on the limitation that the
tensile steel tension shall not be less than s,min, which is equal to 0.005 for tension controlled
behavior (ACI 9.3.3.1, 21.2.2. Fig R21.2.2b):

Conclusion:
The concrete beam passed the stress/capacity check according to ACI 318-14.
The maximal shear forces and moments in beam in both cases are equal. The distribution of
intermediate values slightly differ in the two load cases.
There are torsion effects in the concrete beam in the case of cart rail offset = 2in but they are
in the standard limits.
There are also differences in joint reactions (F3, M1 and M4) in the concrete beam in the case
of cart rail offset = 2in compared with the case of the centered rail but they are also in the
standard limits.
