Beam haunches should have more robust parameters or even model templates. some examples would be: the ability to allow exterior haunches to extend to the edge of deck independent of the top flange of the girder/beam. also allow it to taper to a ...

I will use ORD as an example. I, along with many others, have chosen to remain on ORD 10.12 due to a constant string of issues with more current releases. Most recently, I tried to upgrade a project from 10.12 to 24. This resulted in my Text File ...

This addition would allow a truck other than the AASHTO Fatigue truck to be checked for the fatigue load case when the design criteria require a different truck. Currently, it is NOT possible to check the fatigue load case for a live load other th...

Our bridges are designed with a haunched (or angled) soffit at the outside edges of the deck. These extend from the outside edge of the deck down to the top of the outside girder flange. Right now, this can be fudged in a deck template on a straig...

It would be very helpful to be able to put in different spacing for the shear stirrups than for the shear connectors between the beam and deck. I know older standard detailing had these all as one bar so the spacing would always be the same. Howev...

Add an option to get camber given at 10th points on the clbrg span instead of the precast span. beams are being set at a certain elevation at CLBRG so the camber up from CLBRG is what we need to design geometry around, not camber up from end of pr...

In LEAP Bridge Steel, include an option for the analysis reports and diagrams to include total reactions from factored load combinations. The current reports only provide unfactored reactions for individual load cases which leaves the user to manu...

Interface Currently, writing expressions in expression builder is only slightly better than writing code in notepad. The interface could be enhanced similar to Visual Studio with colorized classes, methods, and properties, colorized brackets with ...

Suggest making California design for abutments on LEAP to follow this Live Load Distribution memo. All abutments in California must be designed using the following Live Load Distribution method or it would not be acceptable per Caltrans standards....

Currently, LEAP Concrete reports required interface shear reinforcement values for both a smooth and a roughened condition. It also flags a design as not passing if either minimum is not met. If I know I have a roughened girder, I should be able t...
