W-i

 

Purpose:  Used to specify noncomposite dead load in Girder System Projects.  (See WDL for Line Girder Projects.)

 

-->    Given in girder system input

 

Tenth point noncomposite dead load (k/ft or kN/m) applied to girder "i".  For example, "W-3" is a list of tenth point values of noncomposite dead load applied to Girder 3. 

 

If the self weight feature is used (see SELF WEIGHT FOR DEAD LOAD 1 ), W-i data is ignored.  W-i must be used for preliminary analysis.
