    2.6.2.3 AASHTO (LRFD) Design Parameters


    The following table outlines the parameters that can be used with the AASHTO (LRFD) code along with the
    default values used if not explicitly specified.

    Table 1. AASHTO (LRFD) Design Parameters


    Parameter Default Value Description
    Name
    BEAM 1.0
    Identify where beam checks are performed:

    0 = Perform design at ends and those locations specified in the


    SECTION command.
    1 = Perform design at ends and 1/12th section locations along
    member length.

    DMAX 1000 Maximum allowed section depth (in current length units) for a
    section to be selected with the SELECT command.
    DMIN 0 Minimum allowed section depth (in current length units) for a
    section to be selected with the SELECT command.
    DFF 0
    “Deflection Length”/Max allowable local deflection

    If set to 0, (default) then no deflection check is performed.

    DJ1 Start joint of Joint No. denoting starting point for calculating “Deflection Length”.
    member
    DJ2 End joint of Joint No. denoting ending point for calculating “Deflection Length”.
    member
    GRADE 1

    Parameter Default Value Description


    Name

    about local z-axis. Usually this is the major axis.

    LY Member Length to calculate slenderness ratio for buckling about the local Y
    Length axis.
    LZ Member Same as above except in local z-axis.
    Length
    MAIN 0.0
    Flag for checking slenderness limit:

    0.0 =check for slenderness


    1.0 =suppress slenderness check

    NSF 1.0
    Net Section Factor.

    Ratio of (Net Area)/(Gross Area)

    NSF 1.0 Net section factor for tension members.


    TRACK 0
    Level of detail in Output File:

    0 = Print the design output at the minimum detail level.


    1 = Print the design output at the intermediate detail level.
    2 = Print the design output at maximum detail level..

    UNB Member Unsupported length of bottom flange. Used for calculating the
    Length moment of resistance when the bottom of beam is in compression.
    UNT Member Unsupported length of top flange. Used for calculating the moment
    Length of resistance when top of beam is in compression.
