Wind Loading on a Truss Bridge

Wind Loading on a Truss Bridge

Wind Loading on a Truss Bridge

(OP)
I am doing a substructure study on a truss bridge.  The program we have to get loading only does dead load and live load analysis.  I am interested to see if there is a spreadsheet available to determine wind loads on the superstructure.  Our client has instructed us to use the 17th edition (LFD) for all calculations.  Thank you.

RE: Wind Loading on a Truss Bridge

Is there some reason you're not using the tables in AASHTO 3.15.2.1?  Calculating the area would be up to you.
