Dear All
I am wondering if Leap Bridge does check the splitting strength of I girder bridge based on AASHTO 5.9.4.4.1?
Thanks
Rafal,
If you print the "Vertical/Horizontal Shear" output, there is a section of the output that performs this check.
Hope this helps.
Hello Daniel
You are right, I see this table but it doesn't tell you if it passed or not (Only the required without comparing with the available).
Correct, the designer must check that at least the calculated amount of bursting steel is placed within the prescribed end region of the girder. I don't think LBC provides any type of OK or NG check on this requirement that I am aware of.
Got it.
