CONTINUOUS BEAM DESIGN FOR AASHO LOADING (OVERHEAD STRUCTURES)

File name is DC-S93. Computer program designs continuous steel beams of not over 5 spans, either composite or non-composite type, and subjected to any AASHO loading. Input includes dead loads, sidewalk live load, type of AASHO loading, allowable stresses in steel and concrete, slab data, span lengths, number of spans, beam spacings, minimum plate thickness and variation in values of assumed moments of inertia. Output, in addition to selecting beam size, cover plates and cut-off points, includes shears, reactions and moments at each tenth point of each span, shear connector spacings, flange horizontal stresses in plate girder design, fatigue stresses of base metal and stiffener spacing.
