Error when importing Live loads from a text file in Leap Bridge Concrete

Hello,

I am trying to import my live loads into Leap Bridge Concrete from a text file. I am getting an error saying "Error on reading bearing loads!". However, when I import my temperature loads from a text file, I have no issues. The text files for each load type are setup the exact same. I was even successfully able to import my live loads from a text file when I selected other load types; I tried BR and TU load types and had no issues with either. It seems like the problem is isolated to the LL load type when importing the loads from a text file.

My version of Leap Bridge Concrete is 19.02.00.33

Thanks,

Zach

  • I realize this question is nearly 2 years old, but for anyone who may run into the same issue here is what worked for me. The text file format in Vinay's comment is incorrect for live load (at least in the version I am using, v20.00.00.58), and the article on importing live load forces from conspan is useless if you're designing a pier for a steel bridge.

    LBC needs to know which forces are from the truck loading and which are from the lane loading (if present). It does not assume a type if you do not specify it, which generates the error. See the image below for the correct text file format.
