Hello, I've been having issues with Leap Bridge Concrete with the flexural capacity. It seems like the program doesn't think the bars are fully developed when checking the flexural capacity at the exterior girder location (see image below) Though…

Hi If we define bar length, is leap bridge software have capability to deduct development length based on dia of bar and calculate flexure check at that point.

Is it possible to design post tensioned straddle bents in OpenBridgeDesigner/LeapConcrete? If so is there any tutorials on how to perform the design?

Hello. I'm wondering how LEAP Version 21.01.00.22 calculates the maximum axial load displayed in the diagram. The diagram displays a maximum axial force allowed of 1802 kips. As expected the 1802 kips doesn't change regardless of the load combination…

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…

Dear All, I am trying to perform QAQC for a substructure-only model and have a couple questions. (LEAP Bridge Concrete stand-alone program) Checking Live Load Generation: Where can I find the output for the live load distribution factors that were…

New video up on my channel giving an in depth look at how to layout beams in OpenBridge Modeler, link below. I cover straight (chorded) prestressed concrete girders as well as curved steel I-girders. Definitely a few things that will save you a lot of…

There is an A/D Parameter, under the "Footing" tab to consider effective footing dimensions in analysis of a spread footing. This appears to calculate the effective footing assuming the footing is bearing on soil (as opposed to rock). Is there a way to…

I am using Leap Concrete Version 18.02.02.03 for a multi column pier design that includes seismic forces. I need to apply a response modification factor for the columns and the help guide states that this can be modified in the Seismic Parameters. However…

I have two users, one on Windows 7, the other on Windows 10. Both are running the latest LEAP Bridge Concrete (version 19.02.03.33). They can create LCBX files, but get this error when attempting to reopen them: The Windows 10 user tried renaming…

How do I modify the beam template to have skewed ends as detailed by TxDOT for skewed bridges? Currently, the beam ends interfere with the abutment backwalls. ftp.dot.state.tx.us/.../igebsts1.pdf We do not want to put the beams on a skew but rathre…

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…
