Purpose: Used to specify wind loading as a local effect on a girder during pouring.
--> Given in girder input
An unfactored horizontal loading on the top flange due to wind (k/ft, kN/m). Used to determine lateral bending stresses from wind effects in top flange during pouring according to AASHTO 10.20.2.1 in ASD and LFD, and 4.6.2.7 in LRFD. Not applied in Girder System Projects as loading on the girder system, but only as a local effect on the girders for which it is given.
Factored effect from WINDT is included in factored top flange bending stress in incremental pouring tables. Effect is included only in pours that are wet.
(Note: WIND input must also be given for WINDT to take effect.)
