D1.D.1.3 AASHTO (ASD) Design Parameters
The following table outlines the parameters that can be used with the AASHTO (ASD) code along with the default values used if not explicitly specified.
Parameter Name | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|

0.0 = Design at ends and those locations specified by the SECTION command. 1.0 = Design at ends and every 1/12th point along the member length. |
CB | 1.0 |
Cb value as used in the calculation of Fb 0.0 = Cb value to be calculated Any other value will be used in the calculations. |
CMY CMZ |
0.85 for sideswayand calculatedfor no sidesway | Cm value in local y & z axes |
DFF | None.(Mandatory for a deflection check) | Deflection length / Maximum allowable local axis deflection. |
