Hi all. In composite steel girder bridges with concrete decks (continuous span bridges), does RM bridge automatically Calculator effective width of deck to calculate short-term and long-term composite cross-sections? best regards.

Hi all. I hava some question about steel composite brige as follows: 1. To calculator stress point of section, Rm Bridge automatic use short-term section for live load and load case type Non-permanent and use long-term section for load case type Permanent…

Hi, I am rating a multi-span steel bridge. When I run the model in "design mode" the program appears to correctly calculate the stress and capacity as per AASHTO specifications. Specifically, when checking Lateral Torsional Bucking within the negative…

I am trying to model a bridge that has two abutments and five piers. I have two beam groups (one with 7 beams and the next with 8) that changes at the middle pier. At this point I need the deck to have a gap 20" wide, which is filled with a joint filler…

In LEAP Bridge Steel is there a way to model a beam that is angled at the splice points. The bridge deck is curved but the beams are straight between splice points turning 1-3 degrees at each splice. I need the same member group to run from abutment to…

I am currently design 4 bridges in LEAP Steel v19 but am encountering an issue with the tool to automatically generate loads for the wearing surface of the structure. The bridges are all of a similar type, but some are wider than others and one is on…

Hi, I am trying to Model a Steel bridge in OBM (Not too worried about analysis, just need a 3D model). Need to find out the best workflow. There are mainly 3 Questions . (Refer to the images below) 1. What type of Bridge I should pick at the…

I have beams with varying spacing. When I try to make multiple beam groups within the same span, an error message says that beam groups are overlapping. Ok, so it obvious you cannot have more than one "beam group" within the same span. If I have 10 beams…

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…
