From page 31...
... NCHRP Project 12-103 31 This expression is based on superposition and thus assumes linear response. The tolerable support movement computed from Equation 4-1 will be in units of length (e.g.

NCHRP Project 12-103 33 Figure 4-1 - Schematic representation of a rotational translation for an example structure with five girders. 4.3 Simulation of Dead Load Two dead load cases were simulated in order to be able to consider the limit states shown in Table 1-3: initial dead load and superimposed dead load.

... NCHRP Project 12-103 37 4.5.1 Response Regions of Interest Results were extracted from the entire length of each girder; however, only specific regions experience adverse force effects from support movements. These regions depend on the continuity of the bridge as well as the type/location of the support movement.
From page 38...
... NCHRP Project 12-103 38 does not undergo any translation. Figure 4-5 depicts the regions that experience adverse force effects due to LD and TD support movements occurring at the pier.

... NCHRP Project 12-103 39 4.5.3 Moment on Non-Composite Sections Moments needs to be extracted from two types of non-composite sections. The first is the dead load moments within the girders.
