HINGES FOR STEEL SELF WEIGHT ONLY

 

Purpose:  Used to indicate which analyses use girder hinges. 

 

-->    Given in girder system input in Girder System Projects.  Given in girder input in Line Girder Projects.

 

Noncomposite dead load forces and deflections use given hinges for self weight of the steel only, modeling an erection chronology whether continuity is established at those hinge locations only after steel has been lifted onto bearings, and before the slab is poured.  In order to use HINGES FOR STEEL SELF WEIGHT ONLY, the self weight feature must also be active (see SELF WEIGHT FOR DEAD LOAD 1 ).
