• 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…
  • Grillage Modeling: Proportions & Arrangements

    For any grillage modeling, there are two fundamental aspects to be taken into account: Proportions & Arrangements Proportions : The element's lengths of the grillage should be similar, i.e., the longitudinal and transversal girders' distances should…
  • OpenBridge Modeler Itemtype export

    Hi, I have seen some video which shows that Itemtype is attached to elements which can report a lot of element property within OpenBridge, by reading the wiki on this page I gathered itemtype information cannot be transferred to itwins, however, I…

  • median between highway lanes

    Is there any provision of defining median or divider in a bridge model in leap ?
  • RC Pier

    When entering loads manually for a wall type pier, what is RC Pier referring to as cap loads? Is this the pile cap? Some load screens also have a tab for footing, so this does not seem to make sense. Is it the top of the pier even though a wall type pier…
  • Steel Tub-Girder in LEAP Bridge Steel

    Hello all, The LEAP Bridge Steel (LBS) is a great tool we utilized for steel I-Girder design in our office. But it is not possible to model steel tub girders even in the latest version (v10.01.00.05). Is there any future plan to make steel tub girder…
  • Is it possible to change a cross-section property (torsional constant) of a CS created in MODELER, without using "Beam, CS values" element type?

    Hello community, I am trying to edit the cross-sectional properties of the elements of a grillage model, in order to simulate the torsional stiffness of a multicellular deck. I have created the web sections using MODELER and assigned them appropriately…
