QUESTION: Is it possible to apply live load as point load in Conspan?
ANSWER…
How does leap concrete bridge calculate the deflection due to live load on prestressed concrete girders below cast in place slab. I tried all types of presence factors, aashto... etc . Could reach to similar results

Auto Generated Live Load Cases in LEAP Bridge Concrete - Substructure
I am designing a hammerhead pier using the substructure module in LEAP Bridge Concrete. The geometry is a little odd...it's a hammerhead cap on a circular column. To compare the results for the cap design from the conventional sectional design & strut…
LEAP Bridge Substructure/RC-Pier LFD Live Loads in the Negative Moment Region
I am using the LEAP Bridge Substructure module to design a pier for a continuous 4 span structure using HS20 LFD loads.
In the AASHTO Standard Specifications, it gives you a few options for the loading. One is that you can use a lane load with one concentrated…
Include Truck or Lane Load on Approach when Auto Generating Live Load
I am using the Substructure module of LEAP Bridge Concrete.
According to AASHTO LRFD, you can't have a truck on both the approach slab and on the deck, but you can have a lane load on both.
When generating live loads for an abutment, there are two…
