The bending moment due to dead load of girder is maximum at Correct Answer centre of span

The bending moment considered in the design of gantry girder are the bending moment due to maximum wheel loads (with impact) and the bending moment due to dead load of the girder and rails. The bending moment due to dead loads is maximum at the centre of span.
