Purpose: Used to define haunched web depth of plate girders or box girders.
--> Given in girder input
A list of vertical projections (inches or mm) of web haunches measured from the corresponding support. Represents the rise of the haunch from the support to the bottom of the web at the end of the horizontal projection. The first two values apply to the web haunches to the left and right, respectively, of the first span. The next two values represent the left and right haunches in the second spa, etc.
The maximum web depth must be given (see WD) for web sections straddling interior supports. The minimum web depth must be given for web sections that do not coincide with supports. While it still is necessary to fix depths for all web sections, the web depths of spliced sections falling entirely within haunched regions will internally be adjusted to conform to the geometry of the haunch.
