10GEOMATH
11GEOMATH
- GEOMATH is fully parametric keeping track of
critical information pertinent to each project
component. For example, changes made in an
alignment, profile or superelevation are
reflected in the final bridge model. - Reports include geometric design information on
abutments, pier caps pedestals, beam seats, deck
contours, screed and final deck elevations at
user-specified points along the span. - Material quantities, including deck concrete,
haunch build up and deck reinforcing are
automatically calculated.
12Geometry Modificationse.g. Flared Girders
13CONSPAN
14CONSPAN
- LFD LRFD Simple and Continuous Prestressed Beam
Design - Library contains all standard AASHTO girders,
bulb tees, box beams, double and single tee,
rectangular beams, etc. and users can add
customized cross-sections. - Automatically calculates distribution factors,
impact/dynamic allowance factors, allowable
stresses, etc. - Grillage-based option for computing more refined
distribution factors for many geometry
configurations.

16CONSPAN Enhancements in V8i
- Deck Rebar design (Phase 1 - Empirical Method)
- Support AASHTOWARE Virtis/Opis v6.0.0
- Bug Fixes
- Pull (/Jacking Force) and CG method of defining
strands - GUI updates
- Updated spreadsheet-type controls in Analysis Tab
- Option to create user library of strand patterns
17CONBOX
18CONBOX
- LRFD and AASHTO Standard Design and Analysis of
Cast-In-Place Post-Tensioned/Reinforced Concrete
Box Girder and Cast in Place Concrete Slab
Bridges -
- You can design using one code and simply toggle
to the other code for quick and complete design
comparisons. This powerful feature makes your
transition to LRFD quick, easy, and cost-effective

20CONBOXEnhancements in V8i
- Shear Design Update
- Sections with less than minimum amount of shear
reinforcement - Auto Design
- Face of Support
- Optional critical section for design
- Allowable Stresses Terminology
- Consistent with AASHTO specs
- Load Combination Definitions
- Increased user control
- Minimum P-Jack, fci, fc
- Increased user control
- Effective web width
- Revision for LRFD-California option
- Automatic tendon definitions for hinged spans
21RC-PIER
22RC-PIER
- Design of reinforced concrete bridge
substructures and foundations. - Piers types are multi-column and hammerhead piers
with straight, tapered or variable caps, and
circular, rectangular (tapered and non-tapered)
or drilled-shaft columns. - Footing types include isolated or combined,
supported on either soil or piles. - Integrated design of cap, biaxial columns, and
footings using LFD, LRFD or working stress
methods. - Strut-and-Tie (STM) modeling to obtain optimized
structures.

28Database Exchange
LEAP Bridge is also a central command for data
exchange between AASHTO BridgeWARE database and
any other LandXML compliant applications
29Leap Bridge Configurations
30LEAP Bridge
- Small to medium prestressed/precast and long-span
post-tensioned concrete bridges in North America. - Most widely used solutions for design of concrete
bridges in North America more then 2000 Users in
North America, 38 DOTs. - Increasing interaction with other BrIM products
