Stiffener Design Checks AASHTO Art 6.10.11

LEAP Steel does not perform any design checks for bearing stiffeners or intermediate transverse stiffeners to evaluate adequacy. This feature needs to be implemented so that the program complies with AASHTO article 6.10.11.

Load DGNLIB files on demand

It would be very helpful if it were possible to load DGNLIB files on demand instead of automatically. One example of this is Sheet Seed DGNLIB files. We do not need those unless we are creating sheets, and creating sheets is a very, very small por...

Return the load factors for the TU load case to 0.5 min & 0.5 max in LEAP Bridge Concrete

It is too conservative and unnecessary to use a 1.2 load factor for the TU load case for design/analysis of substructures. The 1.2 load factor is only needed when calculating thermal movement for joints, expansion devices, and bearings as stated i...
