Purpose: Used to select composite analysis behavior.
--> Given in girder input
Specifies the slab is noncomposite for analysis in negative moment regions (assumed to be 20% of the span on each side of piers) for composite dead load analysis. For Girder System Projects this condition only is valid for analysis in conjunction with the grid model since the plate and eccentric beam finite element model option requires that the slab be used throughout the length of the bridge for analysis. (Also see COMSPC, NEG MOM SLAB NOT USED IN COMPOSITE ANALYSIS, NONCOMPOSITE SLAB IS NOT CONTINUOUS BRACING)
