Hi all. In composite steel girder bridges with concrete decks (continuous span bridges), does RM bridge automatically Calculator effective width of deck to calculate short-term and long-term composite cross-sections? best regards.

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, I am rating a multi-span steel bridge. When I run the model in "design mode" the program appears to correctly calculate the stress and capacity as per AASHTO specifications. Specifically, when checking Lateral Torsional Bucking within the negative…

I am trying to model a bridge that has two abutments and five piers. I have two beam groups (one with 7 beams and the next with 8) that changes at the middle pier. At this point I need the deck to have a gap 20" wide, which is filled with a joint filler…

In LEAP Bridge Steel is there a way to model a beam that is angled at the splice points. The bridge deck is curved but the beams are straight between splice points turning 1-3 degrees at each splice. I need the same member group to run from abutment to…
