Hi If we define bar length, is leap bridge software have capability to deduct development length based on dia of bar and calculate flexure check at that point.

I am performing a load rating of concrete box girders. The rating factors/tons is not displayed since the Inventory Design Load Rating Factor > 1. Is there an option to make the program display the factors even if the RF is greater than 1 or is that information…

I am using CONSPAN in my design and have a couple of questions about the method in which the program performs calculations. Does CONSPAN design prestressed girders, at the interior supports, as reinforced concrete beams? According to AASHTO, LRFD 5.14…

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.

When calculating the top and bottom stresses at the transfer and bearings, does LEAP take into account the development length? It seems that the stresses its calculating at the bearings and the transfer are higher than what they should be. Does LEAP use…

Hello, I'm designed a decked bulb tee and I notice that the composite section is the same as the beam section. The composite section should include the closure pours, but I can't seem to find a way to make this happen via the program or manual override…

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…

Is there any way to get a customized output in CONSPAN or LEAP Bridge? For example if I only want to print stresses at the same 4-5 locations along with some other outputs. Is there any way to accomplish this?

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…
