SIDEWALK

 

Purpose:  Used to define sidewalk widths in Girder System Projects.  (See SWLOAD for Line Girder Projects)

 

-->    Given in girder system input

 

A list of two values (feet or meters) defining the sidewalk width adjacent to the right curb and the left curb (determined by ROADWP or ROADWG ), respectively, or as located with SWLOC1 , SWLOC2.  The resulting sidewalk areas then are loaded with sidewalk loading given in AASHTO 3.14.1.1 (ASD , LFD ) or AASHTO 3.6.1.6 (LRFD) unless this loading is overridden with SIDEWLD.  The default for both sidewalk widths is zero. 

 

Note: The loading is applied as a line load at center of the sidewalk width.
