Interoperability of concrete diaphragm from OBM to LBC for open/close box beam types

There’s a need for improved interoperability between OBM and LBC when working with concrete diaphragms in open or closed box beam configurations. Specifically, the transfer of diaphragm data—such as start, end, and interior diaphragms—for box gird...
