WDR-i

 

Purpose:  Used to define wheel load distribution in ASD or LFD Girder System Projects.  (For Line Girder Projects, see WHEELR )

 

-->    Given in girder system input

 

A list of the number of wheel loads by supports to be used for reactions and shear adjacent to supports according to AASHTO 3.23.1.  If a partial list is given, remaining values will be padded using the last value in the list.  Applied to any axle load located within span/20 from the reaction.  Accompanies WDS-i.  Default is WDS-i (if wheel distribution is used as an alternative to defining lanes and having trucks placed in those lanes.)
