  • 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.
  • LEAP Superstructure - Prestressing Development Length

    When calculating the top and bottom stresses at the transfer and bearings, does LEAP take into account the development length? It seems that the stresses its calculating at the bearings and the transfer are higher than what they should be. Does LEAP use…
  • Composite Section for decked bulb tee?

    Hello, I'm designed a decked bulb tee and I notice that the composite section is the same as the beam section. The composite section should include the closure pours, but I can't seem to find a way to make this happen via the program or manual override…
  • 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…
  • Customized output reports
