BCOVT

 

Purpose:  Used to define cover plates on bottom flanges. 

 

-->    Given in girder input

 

List of bottom cover plate thicknesses (inches or mm) in order from left to right.  (Also see BCOVB , BCOVSP , TCOVB , TCOVSP , TCOVT)

 

Note: Layered cover plates can be represented by equivalent cover plates (of combined thickness where layered) separated by a small spacing of, say, 0.1 feet. (However, if the width varies per layer, then this would need to be resolved into an appropriately assumed width.)
