I need to change the stress limits for the bent cap from normal exposure (=0.19 sqrt(fc) <0.6ksi ) to severe exposure (=0.0948 sqrt (fc)<0.3ksi)

When running analysis with and without P-delta I noticed there is a substantial increase in the axial column force when P-delta is applied. At the node 1 the difference is about 300 kips. What could be a reason for such an increase? Any insight is appreciated…

When opening from OBD Connect Edition, I accidentally double clicked on the Leap Bridge Concrete button, and it tried to open up 2 instances of the file. It generated an error, I don't remember which one, and now it won't open my file. I'm afraid I lost…

When checking Show P-delta Effects in the Analysis tab, are the values shown represent values with p-delta effect? For example, are the column/shaft moments magnified with p-delta factor in these load combinations (with a "C" on the end of the LC#)? If…

I am designing a hammer head pier cap using LEAP Bridge Concrete's strut and tie option. I have input "main bars" and "stirrups" under the Cap tab. When I check the Design Status of the pier cap, I do not see where it checks the stirrup input against…

I'm working on a two-span prestressed PCEF bulb tee bridge for a state DOT in LEAP Bridge Concrete v19. I'm new to LEAP Bridge Concrete, but I've used other LEAP products. We're at the TS&L stage, and I'm trying to get the preliminary design of the superstructure…

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…
