What is the difference between the stresses given for the depression point in the "Release Stresses" box and the "Release Lifting Loops" box?

Has anyone seen this issue in lasted version of LEAP End user has new Lenovo P52 laptop and all drivers up to date. When rotating object you get a fan image around object as shown in screenshot. We have another user with same P52 laptop and drivers…

I am designing a hammerhead pier using the substructure module in LEAP Bridge Concrete. The geometry is a little odd...it's a hammerhead cap on a circular column. To compare the results for the cap design from the conventional sectional design & strut…

I hope this is an easy question regarding the shear stirrup spacing... Does the program insert a stirrup at the start location specified? For example, in the image below, is there a #3 2-legged stirrup provided at 0.00', 0.25', etc. or do the stirrups…

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…

Hello, I was wondering what edition of AASHTO is LEAP Bridge Concrete v16.00.00.24 using? I was unable to find it in the software itself so if it's possible to describe to me how I can find this within the program as well I would appreciate it. Thanks…

I am designing a 2-span precast prestressed beam bridge in LEAP Bridge Concrete CONNECT Edition v17.00.01.01. The bearing dimensions along the pier cap are shown correctly in the following view under the 'Substructure' tab: However, when you click…

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…

In the Shear/Moment Envelope (&Reactions) Design output what is the difference between live load Max, Truck, and Lane? Is the max HL-93 including truck and lane loading? I have a 6 span continuous concrete superstructure.

How does RC Pier (LEAP SubStructure) account for skew when calculating the bearing reactions for the Auto Generated Live Loads. I can replicate the reactions when there is no skew, but I have issues when skew is applied. Any assistance on the matter would…

I am using the LEAP Bridge Substructure module to design a pier for a continuous 4 span structure using HS20 LFD loads. In the AASHTO Standard Specifications, it gives you a few options for the loading. One is that you can use a lane load with one concentrated…

I am using the Substructure module of LEAP Bridge Concrete. According to AASHTO LRFD, you can't have a truck on both the approach slab and on the deck, but you can have a lane load on both. When generating live loads for an abutment, there are two…

I need to model a cantilever. Please direct me to relevant links/files/resources
