Does anyone have calculation verification for the live load auto-generation function in RC-PIER? Or has anyone else had problems verifying the LL output from RC-PIER?

From what I understand Conspan calculates 10th point increments from the total precast length and not the bearing to bearing span length. Is there a way to get camber and deflection readouts at the bearing to bearing 10th points? All the DOTs in New England…

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…

Hello, There appears to be a font compatibility issue. In the program LEAP GEOMATH V8i, it looks like you should be able to adjust the window in order to see the rest of the menu, however there is no option to move it. This issue is not resolved…

I want to place an eccentric point load on the footing to model a temporary support in RC-Pier. What's the best way to do that? I tried applying a dead load to the footing tab under DC1, however the input is a little confusing and there is no way to…

Dear supporter, I study to use Leap Conspan with I section girder; normally, the cross section of this type of girder has the difference from middle and end position (end cross section is bigger than middle one). I could not found any function to describe…

Dear friend, The library of girder section on Leap Bridge or Leap ConSpan is so limited (Super T girder for example). Are there any solution to expand this one; it is a so wonderful if we can down load the extended library file for these program. If…

LARS can calculate LRFD LLDF's, and will auto-generate the ranges over which the varying distribution factors will govern. For a continuous member, it appears as if it calculates these ranges such that 20% of the span length on either side of an interior…

Dear Sir, Am a young engg. and new to staad pro. I just have to calculate an approximate moment calculation for moving loads for defined. Just for study purpose. i have created 2 beams and a set of loads defined for loading. i have generated load…

I'm trying to apply vertical wind loads on a pier per AASHTO LRFD 3.8.2. The problem I have is with the load combination generation. This load shoud only be applied during Strength III and Service IV limit states. Is there a way to specify this for the…

With the release of LEAP Bridge Enterprise SS5 v12.01.00.57, we are eager to get all of our LEAP product users onto the latest and greatest, however our environment is currently a mixture of LEAP Bridge Precast 9 and 10. Is there any supported upgrade…

When manually inputting live loads into RC-Pier, how do you specify a lane load. According to the help.... "For manually input live loads in AASHTO LRFD, this screen behaves slightly different. When a live load case is added in LRFD mode and edited, the…

I am designing a two stage pier wall. There is no option for just a wall in RC pier. Is there a way to trick the program, I have tried a couple of different options but none have worked. The top wall is tapered in both directions and the bottom wall does…

I am making Drawing Levels for a couple of the DOTs we work with. We have multiple users on different machines. Is there a way to copy some files from my machine to the others so they will have these Drawing Levels set up already? If so, which ones? Thanks…
