e_P1 is no longer an input: P1 top = C3 (lowest coping top − 127 − 2·57.2 = 43.170) − 100 = 43.070, so e_P1 = step top −
43.070 = 485 mm. The P1 top moves from 15147 to 14862 mm; the top piece shortens by 285 mm. Couplers are placed at k·3000
with at least 2500 mm below the P1 top (a value to confirm). On P1 the coupler count stays at four (3, 6, 9, 12 m). P2 and
the tie top do not change.
