INTERMEDIATE BRACING NOT BOLTED FOR NONCOMPOSITE DEAD ANALYSIS

 

Purpose:  Used to modify bracing stiffness. 

 

-->    Given in girder system input

 

Changes stiffnesses of intermediate bracing to near-zero values when analyzing for noncomposite dead loading.  The bracing locations, however, still are used to determine allowable noncomposite compression stresses.
