Thank You Lo,
I'll double check the tributary area of the wind force in AASHTO.
I wonder if you know how to find the forces on the chord as I shown on previous attachment.
This was a SE multiple choice!

Hi Bridgebuster:
I think we can't ignore the wind on the deck since the height is considerable and the test shows the height specifically.
On the other hand I agree we can consider the wind distribution like flex diaphragm.
Please see the attached and let me know if you know any solution...
This was the SE question and they asked for the forces not stiffness or stability.
It a matter of wind load distribution and knowing how to find the forces (Analysis). I am not sure this is acting as truss since the girder's web are not members.
Thank You!
I wonder if anyone knows how to calculate the wind force on Cross Bracing of a Bridge.
The wind force is determined (psf) and the forces on Bracings and Chords are questioned.
Please see the attached.
Thank You...
