LEAP Concrete prestressed voided slabs using the Load wizard
It appears that the Future Wearing Surface ksf in the wizard is being multiplied by the entire width of the bridge (minus barriers) and then being applied to every beam (slab). I have to enter the load without the wizard to get the proper load per foot…
CONSPAN - Precast Girders at Interior Supports
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…
LEAP Bridge Concrete DW loads
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…
LEAP Bridge Concrete Reactions
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.
