• allowable displacement of towers under live load

    Hi all. In the design of a cable-stayed bridge, what is the allowable displacement of the A and H shaped towers under live load? Best regards.
  • allowable deflection of a suspension bridge

    Hi all. Can you tell me what the allowable deflection of a suspension bridge is? And what standard is this deflection limit based on? best regards.
  • Steel composite bridge

    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…
  • upward deflection of the continuous bridge structure

    Hi all. In continuous beam structures, the allowable downward deflection of the bridge under HL93 load is L/800. So may I ask what is the upward deflection of the continuous bridge structure under HL93 load? best regards.
  • Thermal cyclic loads

    I'm attempting to simulate how thermal loads may affect the backfill behind an integral abutment by deploying PLAXIS 2D. I modelled the concrete bridge deck as a Linear Plate element and included a prescribed displacement near the top of the abutment…
  • allowed deflection of the bridge under the effect of live load

    Hi all. Nice to meet you. I have a model steel composite cable-stayed bridge with 6 span continuos by Rm Bridge V8, 2 side span have 150m, 4 main span is 300m. I don't known about allowed deflection of the bridge. I use AASHTO LRFD standard. If you…
  • Zero dead load deflection when concrete strength changed in Data Modification

    I have a bridge where I need one span to have a different girder concrete strength than another span. When I update the concrete strength in "Data Modification" and edit my beam strand pattern, all the dead load deflections are zero. I'm currently using…
  • Leap Steel Dead Load Deflections

    I am having trouble extracting the dead load deflections from my Leap Bridge Steel model. I have run the analysis with no issues, but cannot seem to get the dead load deflections. I have tried two different ways and both have been unsuccessful. I am running…
  • Leap Bridge Steel Deflection Calculations

    Hello, I am new to Leap Bridge Steel and have a few questions: 1) What method is used to determine the deflections of girders for the HL-93(Deflections per AASHTO)? I am comparing the deflections for 2 girders with the same properties and the same…
  • Additional Composite DW load?

    Is there a way to add a supplemental composite DW load for a poly wearing surface in Leap Concrete Bridge? I want to keep it separate from the Future Wearing Surface (Composite DW) load I already have. This is necessary to accurately calculate camber…
  • Conspan 10th points

    From what I understand Conspan calculates 10th point increments from the total precast length and not the bearing to bearing span length. Is there a way to get camber and deflection readouts at the bearing to bearing 10th points? All the DOTs in New England…
