CURB

 

Purpose:  Used to define rightmost curb line in parallel/concentric geometry Girder System Projects.  (Not applicable to Line Girder Projects.)

 

-->   Given in girder system input

 

A list of tenth point locations (feet or meters) of the curb line near Girder 1, the rightmost girder looking from the beginning to the end of the bridge.

 

 

A positive value less than the girder spacing places the curb between Girder 1 and Girder 2.  A negative value places the curb outside the centerline of Girder 1.  The default is 0.0 feet, placing the curb line along the centerline of Girder 1.  The curb line is the edge of Lane 1 away from Lane 2.  Trucks are confined within lanes as per AASHTO.  (Also see LANES , ROADWP , ROADWG)
