# WL AASHTO \[TB]

If the user wishes to apply static wind on live load, they can utilize this option.

The line load shall be applied onto the central line of the lane position designated by the user.

In the "Wind on Live Load AASHTO" section, users can choose defined lane positions. The line load will then be applied to these positions separately. For each designated lane location, a unique result scenario will be generated. The critical envelopes of these result scenarios will be used in subsequent design procedures.

## General

**Center Lines of Lanes:** Select the lane positions defined in the previous step. For every designated lane location, a distinct result scenario will be generated, and the envelopes (critical points) of these result scenarios will be employed in subsequent design processes.

**Stage:** Choose the stage at which to apply the wind load.

**Transverse Force:** Enter the transverse component values here as per AASHTO Table 3.8.1.3-1. Default value is 0.1 klf. If the user inputs a different value, the factors listed in the table will be employed to calculate the remaining angles. For instance, if the user inputs 0.2 klf, the transverse component for a 15-degree angle will be computed as 0.2 multiplied by 0.088.
