Hi All
I am modelling and designing multi column pier in Leap, But after applying loads i am getting ambiguous bending moment, also huge reinforcement is showing on designing.
Please find the model attached and any one please can help and check the model and guide how to proceed and what are mistakes i have made in the model.
Hi ,
I tested your file and it looks like the DC , DW and LL have pretty heavy loading on the bearings and that is causing very high Bending moment and shear and because of that there is huge reinforcement .
Please double check the bearing loads for DC , DW and LL.
Also I did not see any out of plane moment for Braking forces load cases. Please double check.
Hi Vinay
Thank you so much fr replying and your feedback.
I have modeled same structure in the Midas with same loading and moments in the Midas comparatively are very less.
As we can see the bending diagram for dead load is only hogging in the Leap which is not the actual behavior. Therefore requesting you to check the modelling if you have some time so that i can proceed further foe my project.
Thank you

There might be an issue on how the loads are assigned for all the load cases.
I just deleted all the load cases and then started regenerating the loads and now the program is showing the results as intended.
So I would suggest you to make a copy of your file and then delete all the loads and regenerate or reassign all the requisite load cases.
I hope it helps.
Bridge is continuous, if you generate load by clicking options continuous and distribution with % 44 33% 22 % as per AASHTO then it is not showing the similar behaviour
And also for manual input of load i am not getting the option for method of distribution
I agree with your findings.
Please try inputting the bearing loads manually and then check the moment diagram
