Hello, I've been having issues with Leap Bridge Concrete with the flexural capacity. It seems like the program doesn't think the bars are fully developed when checking the flexural capacity at the exterior girder location (see image below) Though…

Hi all. I hava some question about steel composite brige as follows: 1. To calculator stress point of section, Rm Bridge automatic use short-term section for live load and load case type Non-permanent and use long-term section for load case type Permanent…

Hi all. in steel girder bridges combined with concrete decks (continuous span girder bridges). If the concrete deck is not in tension and the combination of internal forces according to the Service limit state is service.sup, then use the ReloadSup function…

I would like to analyze a steel stringer bridge that has a transverse nail laminated wood deck. Am I able to import this wood into the Material Library in any way?

I am pretty new to using Leap Bridge Steel, and have a question regarding a project I am working on. I have attached a general framing plan, and was wondering if Leap Bridge Steel was capable of modeling it, mainly due to the partial length girders. The…

Hello Everyone, I would like to use GC in our modeling in OBM in modeling bridge supports because in FC (FunctionalComponents) I encountered some limitations . From what I understood, I should prepare the entire geometry with variables in a separate…

Hello there. In OpenBridge CE-Version 10.11,the following item is attached with the beam. However,after placing bearing，the beam item attached is missing. This problem will not happen in lower version software. Can it be fixed? Thanks.

When placing custom pier，concrete pad material option is missing in OpenBridge.

When placing piers，it can be only selected a supportline one by one. If the number of piers placed at the same time is too large, this is a very inefficient operation. Optimization is expected.Thanks！

Hi. When LEAP determines the moment interaction diagram of a column that was analyzed using P-Delta affects does LEAP adjust the moment interaction diagram for the deflections? Such as for a loss of stiffness in the columns due to the deflections as stated…

Hello there. In OpenBridge 2022 R1，I would like to place a barrier along P_4 point of the deck.But when placed,barrier can't follow P_4 point finally.It seems the work point of barrier always recognizes the upper surface of deck,just like following pictures…

Hello there. I would like to get “span name” of Deck by using expression and show it in properties ,just like showing “Span name” of BeamSegment in Fig.1. Figure.1 For this purpose，I tried to use an expression which is "this.GetElement().Deck_SpanName…

Hello, I,m trying to create a Bent where 2 separate bridges meet, is this even possible to model in Openbridge Modeler? Ultimately, I want to transfer the model to LEAP to run the analysis.

I am trying to define a composite section in my bridge. Thus, I am using the generic shear connector type. When I click the Add button, the following message pops out: "Encountered an improper argument". Anyone know why? Is this something I should…

Hello, A client is requesting I test a bridge with the following parameters: Only permit vehicle on the bridge No lane load No adjacent lanes loaded Is it possible to model a LL like that in LEAP Steel? When I define the LL, I choose my…

I am performing a load rating of concrete box girders. The rating factors/tons is not displayed since the Inventory Design Load Rating Factor > 1. Is there an option to make the program display the factors even if the RF is greater than 1 or is that information…

I don’t know when I use “include beam and slab contribution in Vu” and “Exclude Beam and Slab contribution form Vu” why are V vh-rg values zero?

How do I calculate AX, IX, IY, IZ, AY, AZ, YD, and ZD for a T-BEAM bridge section in the general option in STAAD ?

Hi everyone, I am looking for the value of stresses loss in tendon (lost due to relaxation of prestressing steel, lost due to relaxation of prestressing steel,.....), Can someone tell me where is it? I'm using rm bridge v11, Pictures below are the…

I'm running a curved bridge in LEAP Concrete. The begin and end bents have different skews resulting in variable girder lengths. LEAP suggests running the, "Girder-by-Girder" analysis. However, when running this analysis my girder is failing, miserably…
