LEAP Bridge Concrete

Does this program have the ability to design and analyze stub abutments with piles on MSE walls as shown on PennDOT's Bridge Construction Standard BC-799M?

  • Based on the drawings from PennDOT’s BC-799M, a typical stub abutment looks similar to the pile cap abutment with H piles which is supported by the LEAP Bridge Concrete (LBC). LBC is capable to provide the analysis and design of the abutment cap, the pile reactions of the H piles based on either the continuous beam model or the frame model. LBC neither analyzes pile-soil interactions, nor designs MSE wall.
