Point loads in the region over the fixed bearing length of the rightmost support, but to the left of the support point, were being included in shear and moment analysis over the design span rather than going directly into the support. Because of the proximity to the support point the moment due to these loads is not high; so this caused only an extremely minor difference in the magnitude and location of the maximum moment point. Other than for the calculation of Wf for glulam using O86 6.5.7.2.1, which is explained in the Engineering Design section above, there is no effect on shear design because the effect of these point loads is neglected due to 5.5.5.2 and 6.5.7.1.2. Bearing design was not affected because the effect of these loads was included in the reaction via loads analysis.
This has been corrected and these point loads are now considered for bearing reactions only.
