I have a small bridge project in which the bridge varys in width (37' to 51') over a short distance (42'). Based on this varying width, the framing plan will have splayed girders (7'-3" to 10-9"). A question was raised about the live load distribution factors in regards to what the LRFD 3rd Edition says about how these factors are calculated. I have read through the code but have not seen where it addresses varying girder spacing. Does the 3rd edition address this issue and where? Thanks.
