Splice: Splice for code check

Code Check Template: The code check template is utilized to extract global parameters, results from finite element analysis, and limit states employed in the design process.

Girder Parameters

Panel Type [InteriorPanel/EndPanel]: The terms "end panel" and "interior panel" are used to describe the sections of a steel girder plate that are positioned at the ends and interior sections of the girder, respectively, as depicted in the accompanying figure. The interior panels comprise the remaining segments of the girder that lie between the end panels.

...

Stiffener

Has Long. Stiffener [NO/YES]: Select "Yes" if the girder code check station is located between two transverse stiffeners.

Has Trans. Stiffener [NO/YES]: Select "Yes" if there is a longitudinal stiffener that passes through the girder code check station.

...

Stiffener Spacing Computation [Use Cross Frame Spacing/User Input]: As shown in the figure below, each cross frame is usually connected to a connection stiffener. If no additional intermediate stiffener is present, the user may simply use the cross frame spacing as the stiffener spacing. However, if there are additional stiffeners at the code check station, the user must manually enter the transverse stiffener spacing.

...

Transverse Stiffener Spacing: The spacing between the transverse stiffeners, as shown in the illustration below.

Long. stiff-comp. flange: The distance from the compression flange to the longitudinal stiffener.
