Current Beam hog modeling is not as expected for Australian Bridges. Deck thickening can be applied, but the beams that support the deck do not follow the underside shape of the deck. The beams are straight, but really need to be curved and follow...

The current version of LBC we're using references the Manual for Bridge Evaluation, 2nd Edition as the basis for bridge rating. I'm wondering if there are plans to update this to reference the 3rd Edition instead. If such an update is planned, cou...

For final bridge plans involving a steel bridge, we need to report dead load deflections at either the 10th or 20th points along the span—from bearing to bearing. While the program does calculate these points, it currently measures them from the e...

RM BRIDGE, increase the naming character limits for load cases and load sets to more than 16 characters.

We would like to ask a PMM non-linear spring for modeling Plastic Hinges for reinforced-concrete Columns. This PMM springs are used for modeling the Moment-Rotation (M-R) behavior for different axial loads (P). The PMM spring should be able to cap...

Add option for Steeped footing in Leap Concrete - Substructure Module

We are modeling a complex bridge in LBS and the bridge is flared. The flare has required the addition of shorter beams that are not full length to keep the beam spacing on the flared end reasonable. Currently LBS does not allow more than one beam ...

Currently when defining the horizontal earth loading on an abutment, the only option is to have a triangular loading from top to bottom. The "Mag2" input box (for the load magnitude at the top of the load) is set at 0, greyed out, and cannot be ed...

When a load is defined in LBS, it is defined corresponding to a certain construction stage. However, there is no way to change the stage after the load is defined. The user has to delete the load and redefine it in a different stage. (e.g. allow a...

Add a separate limiting tension stress for the top of girders near interior supports. AASHTO LRFD permits the use of a limiting tension stress at the top of girders near interior supports for Service III different than the limiting tension stress ...
