Bentley LEAP Bridge Is:
ONE fully-integrated application
ONE seamless Geometry, Super and Sub Structure

program
ONE central application for data exchange
ONE database one or more bridges

Bridge Analysis & Design Software
GEOMATH
(Parametric Bridge
Geometry & Layout)
CONSPAN
(LFD & LRFD Simple &
Cont. PS Beam Design)
CONBOX
(LFD & LRFD Post-Tensioned
CIP Box Girder)
RC-PIER
(LFD & LRFD Integrated
Pier Design)
ABC Wizard for Bridge Definition
ABC Wizard Multiple Bridges
GEOMATH
GEOMATH
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.
Geometry Modificationse.g. Flared Girders
CONSPAN
CONSPAN
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.

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

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

CONBOX
Enhancements 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

RC-PIER
RC-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.

Database Exchange
LEAP Bridge is also a central command for data

exchange between AASHTO BridgeWARE database
and any other LandXML compliant applications:

LEAP 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
