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…
RC Pier (LEAP SubStructure) Live Load Auto Generation Reactions
How does RC Pier (LEAP SubStructure) account for skew when calculating the bearing reactions for the Auto Generated Live Loads. I can replicate the reactions when there is no skew, but I have issues when skew is applied. Any assistance on the matter would…
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…
