TSSP

Purpose:  Used to locate intermediate transverse web stiffeners. 

 

-->    Given in girder input

 

A list of spacings (inches or mm) to locate intermediate transverse web stiffeners, beginning at the support for the left bearing of the girder.  The first value in the list is the distance from the left bearing to the first intermediate transverse web stiffener.  The spacing from the last intermediate transverse web stiffener to the support at the right end of the girder should not be given.  Intermediate transverse web stiffeners that also act as connection plates should be included in TSSP data.  Intermediate transverse web stiffener spacing should be given so that bearing stiffeners at interior supports are not included, i.e. the spacing skips over interior supports.  Even if there is uniform spacing, each spacing must be given (except for the last).  Not applicable to girder design input.
