Post Tension Straddle Bent Design
Is it possible to design post tensioned straddle bents in OpenBridgeDesigner/LeapConcrete? If so is there any tutorials on how to perform the design?
Leap Bridge Concrete Wall Pier - Moments at bottom of wall
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…
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.
LEAP Superstructure - Prestressing Development Length
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…
