I need to change the stress limits for the bent cap from normal exposure (=0.19 sqrt(fc) <0.6ksi ) to severe exposure (=0.0948 sqrt (fc)<0.3ksi)

When we try to copy the beam sections (BT-54) without changing any properties, the strands layout is disturbed and few of the rows are disappearing. Original Girder section strand arrangement Name Changed Girder Section strand arrangement Top…

Hello, I need to run a flared girder analysis with two different beam types on the same span. I have been able to do this for a while without any issues, but now any new model I make with different beam types will give me an error when I re-open it…

I get the -nan(ind) error during final stress check whenever I provide temperature load for the girders. Is there a solution to this issue? I am using LEAP Bridge Concrete CE 19.02.00.33.

Some state DOTs require x/box beams without CIP concrete deck to be post-tensioned, as illustrated by the image below. The post-tensioned check box in LEAP Bridge Concrete becomes inactive when X-Beam/Box Beam is selected as the beam type. How do I get…

I'm working on a two-span prestressed PCEF bulb tee bridge for a state DOT in LEAP Bridge Concrete v19. I'm new to LEAP Bridge Concrete, but I've used other LEAP products. We're at the TS&L stage, and I'm trying to get the preliminary design of the superstructure…

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…

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…
