Purpose: Used to define effective slab width for determining composite girder section properties.
--> Given in girder input
A list of effective slab widths (inches or mm) by tenth points, beginning from the left bearing. If only one value is given, that value is used throughout the girder . For a box girder, ESLABW is the total effective slab width over both top flanges. For Girder System Projects, the effective slab width is used both for analysis and stress calculations in the grid model, but only for stress calculations in the plate and eccentric beam finite element model.
