  • LEAP Bridge Concrete Legal Load Rating Output

    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…
  • Horizontal shear method and result

    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?
  • LEAP Concrete Superstructure: Girder-by-Girder Analysis

    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…
  • LEAP Bridge - Precast/Prestressed Girder - 10th points

    Hello, Camber and deflections are reported at 10th points along the beam. I am modelling a longer span which will require more than 10 screed points. Is there a way to toggle the number of points? Or do I have to interpolate? Thanks,
  • LEAP Bridge Concrete DW loads

    How does LEAP Bridge Concrete calculate the reactions for DL-Comp. (DW)? I added up all the DW reactions and compared to a hand calc of utlities and overlay loads. The total DW is nearly 4 times greater than my hand calcs. I have 4 beam lines with 0.05…
  • LEAP Bridge Concrete Reactions

    In the Shear/Moment Envelope (&Reactions) Design output what is the difference between live load Max, Truck, and Lane? Is the max HL-93 including truck and lane loading? I have a 6 span continuous concrete superstructure.
  • 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…
  • Detensioning Failure

    I have a single span bridge using I-girders that I need close to the max amount of strands in. These are all straight strands, and I've had to debond to 4 different lengths from the end. The longest debond is 25' of my ~90' girder. When I look at the…
  • Customizing the section at End girder

    Dear supporter, I study to use Leap Conspan with I section girder; normally, the cross section of this type of girder has the difference from middle and end position (end cross section is bigger than middle one). I could not found any function to describe…
