Hello,
I'm trying to get the live load reaction for a 3 span continuous span bridge and noticed the live load reaction values from the report is different from the static analysis diagram.
The support reaction report and lane loading details report show the same LL reaction 92.594 kip, while the shear diagram show a value of 61.4 kip. Is there any specific reason for this discrepancy?
I shall look into it and will get back to you at the earliest.
Was this ever resolved?
Leap Bridge Steel performs Live load Analysis either by Line girder or Grillage methods by user selection. For Line girder (Similar to Leap Bridge Enterprise) Leap Bridge Steel computes the Live load distribution factors using the AASHTO Formulas.
