LEAP Concrete Column in Tension
Hi. My hand calculations show that my concrete column will go into tension for my earthquake loading, but the my LEAP Concrete Diagram for the column doesn't show anything for the interaction diagram for a column in tension. Is there a check box that…
11 Skew Wind on a Rectangular Column
The Verification Example 11. Skew Wind on a Rectangular Column has the objective to verify the loading type WIND on a very simple system: a column. The structural model is of only one element with two nodes and one cross-section in a rectangular shape…
RM Bridge: FAQ Modeling inclined V, Y, or Arc shaped pylons
The FAQ Modeling inclined V, Y, or Arc-shaped pylons demonstrate how Variables can be applied to create various shapes for RM Bridge models. The example files Y-Shape Inclined Pier.tcl can be used as a reference also for partial twin leaf piles and inclined…

LEAP Bridge Concrete: Substructure Module, how to create a pinned-pinned column condition?
How could a column for a pier be defined as pinned-pinned. When I select hinge in local direction for any column, it only allows to do it at one end of the column. Is there another way of creating a pinned-pinned condition? This particular column is only…
RE: OBM - I need a flared bent column like this
Eric, I can barely read the drawing above, but this type of column could probably be modeled in OBM using the RectFillet type column Shape. See screenshot attached.
Model Eccentric Columns
When we define the Offset to Bridge CL, the whole bridge moves with respect to the main alignment:
Now when you are placing the columns they are placed with respect to the Pier. For example if I am placing 2 columns on Pier # 1, each column has…
LEAP RC-Pier Rotated Column on Pile Footing
We are working a substructure design in which, due to the geometry of the roadway, it may be necessary to have the column rotated at an angle from the orientation of the pile footing on which it sits. In the past we've had to handle this via calculation…
