Purpose: Used to define cover plates on top flange.
--> Given in girder input
List of top cover plate spacings (feet or meters), alternating between non-coverplated and coverplated regions. The first value is the length of the first non-coverplated region, the second value is length of the first cover plate, the third value is the length of the second non-coverplated region, etc. (Also see TCOVB , TCOVT , BCOVB , BCOVSP , BCOVT )
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.)
