RCEN

 

Purpose:  Used to define horizontal curvature of bridge.  (RCEN is generated in Girder System Projects from RAD-i data in girder system input.)

 

-->    Given in girder input  

 

A list of horizontal radii of curvature (feet or meters) by tenth points at the center of the bridge to be used for impact factors according to Tables 1.25B and 2.24B of the "1993 Guide Specifications for Horizontally Curved Highway Bridges".  Otherwise RAD will be used.  Only effective when the condition 1993 CURVED GIRDER SPECIFICATION is used.  RCEN data is generated in girder input from girder system layout in Girder System Projects.
