WSDL

 

Purpose:  Used to specify composite dead load in Line Girder Projects.  (See WS-i for Girder System Projects.)

 

-->    Given in line girder input

 

A list of composite dead loads (kips/ft or kN/m) by tenth points consisting of parapet, rail, and future wearing surface.  In LRFD, however, WSDL does not include the wearing surface, which is instead given separately with data item WEAR because wearing surface loading is treated separately in LRFD.  If only one value is given, that value is used throughout the girder.
