RC Pier (LEAP SubStructure) Live Load Auto Generation Reactions
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…
LEAP Bridge Substructure/RC-Pier LFD Live Loads in the Negative Moment Region
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…
Include Truck or Lane Load on Approach when Auto Generating Live Load
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…
RC-PIER Live Load Auto-generation verification
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?
