WEAR

 

Purpose:  Used to define wearing surface loading. 

 

-->    Given in girder system input in LRFD Girder System Projects.  Given in girder input in LRFD Line Girder Projects.

 

In Girder System Projects, WEAR is uniform wearing surface load (k/ft or kN/m) applied to each girder. (Also see WR-i )

 

In Line Girder Projects, WEAR is a list of wearing surface and utilities loading (k/ft or kN/m) by tenth point.  If only one value is given, that value is used for the entire girder.
