Input Stringer Definition

Table tbStringerDefinition

PURPOSE

Define stringer location.

Parameters

tbStringerDefinition

Field	Type	Units	Description
Name	text		Stringer line name / number
StartPoint	text		Name of COGO point for start of stringer reference.
EndPoint	text		Name of COGO point that end of member is referenced from.
AutoCn	text		[N|Y] Automatically connect with intersecting lines and points.
RelEndA	text		[Y|N] Moment release member end A (default if blank is N)
RelEndB	text		[Y|N] Moment and axial force release member end B (default if blank is N)
MbrWt	int		Stage to apply stringer weight. Including concrete slab if present.
MbrStf	int		Stage to start using the stiffness properties of the non-composite stringer.
RateFactor	text		Rating Factors
LLDF_ID	text		LRFR only - Live Load Distribution Factor reference to tbExlicitLLDF. Not needed for 2DT (floorbeam) analysis.
Cond	real		Condition factor (phi_c; default = 1.00) – the system factor as defined in AnalysisControls will be added by SteelBridg

Note

Member will be composite if in the live load stage: the slab has stiffness, the member has stiffness, there are shear studs present, and the slab is coupled to the members.
