One of the questions our support team receives often is the difference between Basic Load Cases (BLC), Load Categories and Load Combinations (LC). Understanding how these containers are used and how they work together when loading a structure is an essential part of creating an accurate model in...
RISAFoundation includes the ability to utilize “nested” load combinations. Currently, the Load Combinations spreadsheet in RISAFoundation is limited to ten columns of Basic Load Cases (BLCs) and Factor combinations. However, there are times where you may need to include additional entries to your...
For concrete column members, the load combination producing the maximum shear code check is reported in the Detail Report and corresponding Results spreadsheet. Since concrete is evaluated based on a batch solution, this can be useful when shear governs the design.
RISA-3D includes material specific checkboxes on the Design tab of the Load Combinations spreadsheet that allow you to define the load combinations that shall be checked for members of different materials.
The Load Combination Generator in RISA-3D can now include earthquake loads in load combinations to reflect Response Spectra Analysis.
The Load Combinations spreadsheet in RISA-3D is limited to ten columns of BLC and Factor combinations. However, there are times where you may need to include additional entries to your Load Combination. To do this, you can simply “nest” your load combinations.
