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...

Currently, if a bridge is modeled in OBM using variable columns with a round cross-section, that column cannot be accurately transferred to LBS, nor can a variable-round cross-section be defined, analyzed, or designed within LBS. This is a big hol...

Much like the "Break Void" line where the elevation of the graphic is honored in the Terrain, a "Break Island" should also exist to prevent improper triangulation.

The user insists of adding Str III as a default combinations. It may be useful to create a default Str III combination (since now we have WL considered under design) instead of forcing the user to create a new combination that accepts WL. Please s...
