Create Pier Functional Components - for Angle variable
Hello everyone,
I have problem with the create Functional Componets in OpenBridge Modeler (OBM). I use Angle variable to create template Pier, but when I use tool "Place custom Pier" in OBM for this template, i see my Angle and Slope Variables was changed…
How do I copy a pier to multiple locations in LEAP Concrete?
I have a multi-span structure with 3 very similar piers with variable pier caps. In the ABC bridge wizard I defined a generic rectangular cap pier since it did not have the variable depth option in the wizard. I have now redefined one of the piers with…
Straddle Bent, Concrete Cap
For the purpose of visualization, here is a quick workaround for modeling a straddle bent/pier. This pier is actually a second bridge with only a deck and with single column piers placed on either end. The cap is modeled with very minor dimensions and…

RM Bridge: FAQ Modeling inclined V, Y, or Arc shaped pylons
The FAQ Modeling inclined V, Y, or Arc-shaped pylons demonstrate how Variables can be applied to create various shapes for RM Bridge models. The example files Y-Shape Inclined Pier.tcl can be used as a reference also for partial twin leaf piles and inclined…

RCPIER deletes strut-and-tie model for hammer head piers upon return to main LEAP Bridge Concrete screen.
When using RCPIER and the strut-and-tie model for hammer head piers my strut-and-tie model deletes after I exit RCPIER to the main LEAP Bridge Concrete screen even after saving and generating reports. How can I preserve my model upon exiting RCPIER? …
Modeling of Stiff Pier Shaft
Dear Respected colleagues, as you can see from the attached images, i need help in modeling the true behavior of my pier system as shown in the 3D view. Since one pier is very stiff in transverse direction, there should be no deflection of any sorts but…
SACS - Different (Sloping) Water Depth and Soil Modeling
Hi! My name is Rodrigo, i have a few questions as follows:
a. Is it possible for SACS to do calculation for different (sloping) water depth in a single model? Like a pier/walkways from shore to the sea.
b. I wonder the possibility of this solution…
LEAP Concrete Connect Pier Length Error and possible solutions?
I am trying to model a 2-span 9-girder Prestressed Girder bridge in LEAP Concrete CONNECT v16.02.00.11 and am running into a geometry error.
My two abutments are 103.77ft wide (to match the roadway) but the center pier is only ~95' wide (only extends…

RE: RSS Pier Foundation
We have pile caps, but not single pier foundations in the program. You can use any single foundation (spread footing or pile cap) to obtain critical combined foundation loads for a hand check of the pile if that's any use. There is a long standing enhancement…

RE: How to model bridge piers using STAAD
If you are comfortable with solid elements then this seems like a good case to use them (the depth of the members approximates the length).
Using tapered members for the flanges of the T and a stick model like the image would be simpler, however.
