Purpose: Used to specify the yield strength of web and flange splice plates.
--> Given in LFD and LRFD girder input
Sets the yield strength (ksi or MPa) for web and flange splice plates at web splice locations, including steel that varies by web and flange plates, i.e. hybrid girders. The default is the strength of the web and flanges being spliced and in the case of different strengths on either side of a splice, the lower of the two strengths is assumed for the splice plates.
Can be given by web splice. A single value given in data will be used for all web splices in the girder.
