Xin — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 20:08:01 GMT

We recently identified a few issues in the current market version 17.01.00.36 of LEAP Bridge Concrete. The details of those issues are as shown below. We have fixed the issues, and created a maintenance release (v17.01.01.11).

Precast/Prestressed Girder module (formerly called CONSPAN)
- Deck offset to alignment was incorrectly calculated for the option “Flared Girder” with the span type as Multi-Span (Continuous) when skew angle was not zero.
- User defined dead load distribution factors did not work correctly for US LFD code.
Substructure module (formerly called RC-PIER)
- Longitudinal moment due to horizontal soil pressure was incorrectly calculated in pile cap abutment for the option “Piles integral with cap”.
- Analytical results of pile or column were incorrect under for pile cap abutment (with the option “Piles integral with cap” selected) or for pier when user defined checking points were activated in structural models.
- Factored moments in shear and torsion check in the detailed design report were incorrectly switched between left side and right side of certain points of interest.
- Wind load on live load was incorrectly generated for US LRFD code with Florida DOT SDG for wind load selected.
- Wind load on live load was incorrectly generated as zero for US LFD code.
- For the piers with two bearing lines, the bearing lines were incorrectly swapped and shown in the related substructure models. This was only a graphic issue, and has been fixed.
