Place one bearing at pier location for continuous span concrete girder bridge design
Ability to place only one bearing at pier location for continuous span concrete girder bridge design, two girders shearing one bearing at pier location.
I would like to create a generic curb for airborne lidar extraction with a 0.5 ft vertical offset from the gutter to the top of curb and then a 0.5 ft horizontal offset from the top of curb to the back of curb. I would want to collect the gutter a...
Add Strut and Tie Modeling methodology to OBD LEAP Concrete for Multi-Column Interior Bents
Since the 8th edition of AASHTO there has been more detail given on the use of Strut and Tie Modeling for the design of D-Regions in Concrete structures (AASHTO 8th & 9th Editions Section 5.8.2 and subsequent sections). In recent years there h...
LBS add a special distribution factor for deflection (AASHTO Art. 2.5.2.6.2)
Under commentary C2.5.2.6.2: "For straight girder system bridge, this is equivalent to saying that the distribution factor for deflection is equal to the number of lanes divided by the number of beams"
Indicate in the reference manager if Civil Rules exist between files. When attempting to create a snap rule to an element that is in a reference file display a warning message. Prevent circular reference errors created by snap rules between refere...
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...
The substructure module built into OpenBridge seems to analyze an abutment wall stem as a column. A toggle would be useful to consider it more like a wall in some instances. The magnitude of vertical load on an abutment stem can often be insignifi...
