RC Pier Overview • Commercially available software –Pros and Cons – No direct interface with NCBDS • Analysis Engine • Design “intent” of RC Pier • LRFD design capability • Anticipated future capabilities

Substructure allows you to customize the pier skew angle, cracked sections, material properties, variable surcharge, and other code-specific analysis and design parameters. A variety of libraries may be customized, including live loads, limit states, footings, and more.

LEAP Bridge Concrete is a consolidated version of LEAP Bridge Enterprise, plus all LEAP standalone products including CONSPAN, CONBOX, RC-PIER, and GEOMATH. In addition, CONSPLICE is also included as an add-on tool.
