With the release of RISA-3D v19.0.2, you can now design special concentrically braced frames (SCBF) as well as buckling restrained braced frames (BRBF) according to the capacity-limited design. The objective of capacity-limited design is to ensure columns and beams in braced frames are designed to...
Occasionally buildings will have different types of decks as well as varying area loads within the same floor plan. One example of this is a floor plan with a partial roof. In this video, we will demonstrate how to consider this scenario in RISAFloor.
Updated Design Codes: ACI 318-19 ADAPT-PT/RC has been updated to include applicable provisions from ACI318-19: Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. The provisions in the latest design standard that have been included in ADAPT-PT/RC include but are not limited to:
Composite steel beam design is now available in RISACalc per the AISC and CSA steel design manuals with the following supported steel codes:
RISAFoundation has the ability to display the enveloped contour diagram results for soil pressure. The graphical display of enveloped soil pressures is advantageous because it allows users to quickly identify the degree of influence the loads and slab geometry have on the soil.
Learn how to load and design individual composite beams according to AISC and CSA design codes in RISACalc.
Oftentimes the architecture of a building does not follow a simple rectangular nor radial grid. A quick and easy way to handle these scenarios within RISAFloor is to import the building geometry or grid system as a DXF underlay.
RISAFloor supports the three fundamental types of diaphragms used in structural analysis: rigid, semi-rigid and flexible. Watch this video to learn how to consider each of these diaphragm types within the same model and same floor plan.
RISAFloor enables you to consider the loads imposed on your structure due to the drifting effects of snow. Tapered area loads in RISAFloor are ideal for modeling this surcharge load due to snow drifting since the loading is approximated by a triangle.
