h2. How are moving loads redistributed from lanes to frame objects?

Each lane is [discretized|kb:Lane discretization] according to its geometry and the plan-view intersection between [layout lines|kb:Layout line] and structural objects. The lane [influence|kb:Influence surface] line, or surface, is then interpolated from the set of [lane-load points|kb:Lane-load point] created from the discretization. The moving loads applied to the lane are distributed to lane-load points according to tributary area, then redistributed, through [lane-to-object connections|kb:Lane-to-object connection], to the [joints|kb:Joint] of frame objects. 

Please see the [Lane discretization|kb:Lane discretization], [Lane-load point|kb:Lane-load point], and [Lane-to-object connection|kb:Lane-to-object connection] articles for additional information.
