Purpose: Used to specify noncomposite dead load in Girder System Projects. (See WDL for Line Girder Projects.)
--> Given in girder system input
Tenth point noncomposite dead load (k/ft or kN/m) applied to girder "i". For example, "W-3" is a list of tenth point values of noncomposite dead load applied to Girder 3.
If the self weight feature is used (see SELF WEIGHT FOR DEAD LOAD 1 ), W-i data is ignored. W-i must be used for preliminary analysis.
