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…

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?

I am designing a hammerhead pier using the substructure module in LEAP Bridge Concrete. The geometry is a little odd...it's a hammerhead cap on a circular column. To compare the results for the cap design from the conventional sectional design & strut…

I am using Leap Bridge Concrete to design a skewed wall pier. After analyzing the pier, I noticed that for the braking force, that the sum of the forces in the z-direction at the top of the wall did not equal the sum of the forces in the z-direction at…

I am designing a 2-span precast prestressed beam bridge in LEAP Bridge Concrete CONNECT Edition v17.00.01.01. The bearing dimensions along the pier cap are shown correctly in the following view under the 'Substructure' tab: However, when you click…

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…

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.

I am using the LEAP Bridge Substructure module to design a pier for a continuous 4 span structure using HS20 LFD loads. In the AASHTO Standard Specifications, it gives you a few options for the loading. One is that you can use a lane load with one concentrated…

I am trying to model a twin 4-span continuous slab type bridge using the ABC Wizard. I was able to import the alignment and profile from GEOPAK. From there, I also found how to offset the bridges from the alignment. The model show the roadway being offset…

Does anyone have calculation verification for the live load auto-generation function in RC-PIER? Or has anyone else had problems verifying the LL output from RC-PIER?

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…

Hello, There appears to be a font compatibility issue. In the program LEAP GEOMATH V8i, it looks like you should be able to adjust the window in order to see the rest of the menu, however there is no option to move it. This issue is not resolved…

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…

I'm trying to apply vertical wind loads on a pier per AASHTO LRFD 3.8.2. The problem I have is with the load combination generation. This load shoud only be applied during Strength III and Service IV limit states. Is there a way to specify this for the…

With the release of LEAP Bridge Enterprise SS5 v12.01.00.57, we are eager to get all of our LEAP product users onto the latest and greatest, however our environment is currently a mixture of LEAP Bridge Precast 9 and 10. Is there any supported upgrade…

I am making Drawing Levels for a couple of the DOTs we work with. We have multiple users on different machines. Is there a way to copy some files from my machine to the others so they will have these Drawing Levels set up already? If so, which ones? Thanks…
