IGNORE CURVED COMPOSITE REGION RESTRICTION

 

Purpose:  Prevents termination if noncomposite regions are specified for curved girders.

 

-->    Given in girder input.

 

The 2003 curved girder specification for LFD and the LRFD specification require girders to be composite the entire length if curved, and normally the program will terminate with a message if this requirement is violated.  This condition overrides the termination and is used at the user’s discretion.
