I'm running a curved bridge in LEAP Concrete. The begin and end bents have different skews resulting in variable girder lengths. LEAP suggests running the, "Girder-by-Girder" analysis. However, when running this analysis my girder is failing, miserably. I've narrowed it down to the moment produced by the live load. The live load moment shown in the analysis out is 4x as large as it should be. (Comparing with a spreadsheet I've created to confirm CONSPAN values, typically within 3%) I've verified the live load distribution factors being used as well as all dead load moments. Any ideas on what could be causing the disconnect?
Please email me the file so that I can test this issue.
