Hello there. In OpenBridge CE-Version 10.11,the following item is attached with the beam. However,after placing bearing，the beam item attached is missing. This problem will not happen in lower version software. Can it be fixed? Thanks.

Hi, I am working on the 80' prestressed concrete beam with a few debonded tendons. (Picture below) I am trying to see how moment capacity changes with the change of debonded length of the tendons. Below are the outputs for the provided moment…

Hi, Dear All, Please advise that how the "number of lanes loaded" is determined? In the "superstructure parameters", I entered 7 as "number of lanes". But here only up to 6 I can select. Thanks, Dong

Hi, Dear All, Please see the following picture. Questions: 1. Is it possible for us to look into the footing design calculation details in LEAP bridge substructure? 2. The required bar area is constant through the footing for both X & Z directions…

Hi, Dear All, Could you please let me know how the Z is calculated in the wind load generator? How do we deal with the wind load on the crush wall which is under the column but above the footing? Also, what is the best practice to enter the buoyancy…

Hello - I am modeling hammerhead piers in RC-Pier Version 20.00.00.58. EQ/ES/LS loads are applied at the bottom of the column with a user-defined seismic load combination. For some piers, the seismic shear output at the top of the column shows Combo …

Hello, I am working in OpenBridge (10.9.1.15) StandAlone LEAP Concrete. I have a question about how to save reinforcement design in LEAP Concrete. When I am working in Substructure, I generate loads, run analysis and then design the reinforcement…

Hi. When LEAP determines the moment interaction diagram of a column that was analyzed using P-Delta affects does LEAP adjust the moment interaction diagram for the deflections? Such as for a loss of stiffness in the columns due to the deflections as stated…

I am working in LEAP through the OpenBridge Designer BIM workflow. I have changed the concrete strength for an element in OpenBridge Modeller, but it isn't updating in LEAP Concrete. Please advise. OBM LEAP

Hello, I would like to know how the lateral beam spacing is measured in Leap Bridge Concrete when the beam is not symmetrical. (Example: Beam C.G. to Beam C.G. or center of the web to center of web or some other method)

I am running into issues when I open LEAP Bridge Concrete CONNECT Edition v21.01.00.22. I get an error stating "LBC library is not set or has invalid location". When I browse to the Preferences tab, it appears that all of the paths to the different…

Hello, How do I control the spacing of the ledge reinforcement for an inverted T beam? I do not see a dialog box, I'm using LEAPBridge Concrete V 21.00.00.24. Thanks,

Hello, When I first open the Substructure Module there is a CE load that is imported from LBS. This load only has a couple force in the Y direction acting at the exterior bearings. However, when the Auto Generation tool is used, lateral forces…

In LEAP Concrete superstructure module for a pedestrian load case with wide sidewalks (10'+) is there a way to toggle the live load to only be located within the clear roadway or must the distribution factors be computed manually? It appears if the curb…

I always get this error after designing the columns in LeapBridge Concrete Substructure Module (RCPier). Any thoughts on how to fix this error?

My version of Leap Bridge Concrete currently allows for the use of STM in hammerhead pier caps, but we also need that option for all cap types in multi-column bents. We also need an STM option for prestressed and CIP concrete girders in Leap Bridge Concrete…

Hello, I,m trying to create a Bent where 2 separate bridges meet, is this even possible to model in Openbridge Modeler? Ultimately, I want to transfer the model to LEAP to run the analysis.

LEAP is calculating LL deflection Service 1 Live Load but does not flag (turn red) that it exceeds L/800 for vehicular limit. Also, LEAP Concrete is not checking that the minimum depth of AASHTO table 2.5.2.6.3-1. Am I missing a box check so LEAP will…

I have bent that is being constructed in two phases so some shrinkage will happen on the first phase before the next phase is constructed. In the final condition, I could assume the entire shrinkage strain is applied to both sections but that will be…

Hi. My hand calculations show that my concrete column will go into tension for my earthquake loading, but the my LEAP Concrete Diagram for the column doesn't show anything for the interaction diagram for a column in tension. Is there a check box that…
