SUPER

 

Purpose:  Used to define superelevation in Girder System Projects.

 

-->    Given in girder system input

 

List of superelevations (ft/ft or m/m) by tenth points for determining centrifugal force effects in live loading.  Always given as positive values (correct slope direction will automatically be determined depending on the direction of curvature.)  If design speed (see SPEED ) and superelevation data are not given, centrifugal force effects will not be considered.  (Also see SUPERL )

 

Note:  If wheel distribution factors are specified (see WHDINT , WHDFAS , WDD-i , WDF-i , WDR-i , WDS-i ), these factors must account for centrifugal force to include centrifugal force effects.
