T1:1 Tutorial 1 Tutorial 1 Two-Span CIP Prestressed Box Bridge with Multi-Column Pier This tutorial is a step by step walkthrough of the analysis and design of a two-span cast-in-place posttensioned concrete box-girder bridge, with a multi-column pier using LEAP Bridge. The example illustrates the full lifecycle work flow starting with the basic modeling in the ABC Wizard, followed by detailed design using CONBOX, and ends with the detailed, step-by-step analysis and design of the reinforced concrete sub-structure using RC-PIER. While the design of abutments is also possible in RCPIER, for the sake of brevity, the detailed step by step design of the abutment is omitted for this example. 12 m 6m 6m 1.9625 m 4.0375 m 4.0375 m 1.9625 m Z 2.5 m Y CG 1.8 m Gross Properties CGz: 0.0000 m CGy: 1.0608 m Area: 7.7969 m^2 Izz: 7.4042 m^4 Vol/Area: 158.8126 mm 1.8 m Superstructure Cross Section Sta 0+02 Figure W-1: Bridge superstructure cross-section view LEAP® Bridge Enterprise v13.0.0 Tutorial One © Bentley Systems, Inc.
