LV-i

 

Purpose:  Used to define LRFD lane fraction for shear. 

 

-->    Given in girder system input

 

List of values for LRFD lane fractions by tenth point for shear if distribution is used for loading instead of lane definition.  A single value given for girder i will be used for the entire girder.  A lane is two wheels, thus a value of 0.9 for LV-i would correspond to 1.8 wheels.  If any of LM-i , LV-i , LMF-i , LVF-i  or LD-i is given, all must be given.
