It seems like the moment capacity of the abutment is designed as a column and doesn&#39;t separate the components into different directions. en-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/769212?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 12 Jun 2023 07:05:12 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:98d59436-eb2f-4e7d-9d0f-b06cc00a27ddVinay mysore<p>Yes , <span>LEAP calculates the moment and shear demands and capacities when designing the Abutment stem reinforcement.</span></p> <p><span>Yes , as per the usermanual&nbsp; the Abutment Stem is designed using the same approach as Column Design in the pier Design Module.</span></p> <p><span></span></p> <p><span><img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5930/pastedimage1686550552238v4.png" alt=" " /></span></p> <p><span></span></p> <p><span><img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5930/pastedimage1686550565761v5.png" alt=" " /></span></p> <p><span></span></p> <p><span>Currently LBC is not calculating the Crack Control for Abutment stem design.</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
