Section-cut forces for moving-load analysis represent the actual forces which occur at any given section cut. For various configurations of live-load application, extreme resultant forces which occur within a section cut are not combined as this would overestimate section-cut forces. This concept is demonstrated in the attached model, where lanes and section cuts are defined as shown in Figure 1:
