BARIO

 

Purpose:  Used to define concrete barrier attributed to a girder to stiffen it for serviceability and fatigue stresses. 

 

-->    Given in girder input

 

Moment of inertia (in4 or mm4) of concrete barrier about horizontal axis through centroid of barrier.  Default is zero.  Barrier stiffness defined by BARIO , BARCEN , BAREA is applied only to girder input for which it is given.
