ADAPT-Builder 2020 now includes a new Colorization option that can be used to visually inspect the model components by property. The Colorize window is a docked window, that applies unique color shading to user-selected components based on user selected properties. In addition, the user can use the...
The ability to quickly evaluate results and make data-based design decisions is a key aspect of user-focused structural software. One-way shear is a critical in the design of RC and PT beams and in particular, sizing of beams and associated economy of a design. ADAPT-Builder 2020 delivers new and...
For reinforced concrete and post-tensioned concrete beams and slabs, deflection control at serviceability conditions is a critical check for code compliance and satisfactory design. The ability to check if a member is cracked and has exceeded the cracking moment or threshold modulus at short- and...
The Properties Grid is a new improvement to the user-interface for ADAPT-Builder v20. The Properties Grid is a docked window, that facilitates user efficiency when modifying a single component or a selection of components. In addition, the user can use the property grid to filter-select components....

The latest releases of RISAFloor (Version 15.0.1) and RISA-3D (Version 19.0.1) include consideration for accidental torsion and eccentric loading for semi-rigid diaphragms according to requirements outlined in ASCE 7, Section 12.8.4.2.
In this video, the calculated moment capacity of a slab with base reinforcement, as well as the cover requirements for base reinforcement are reviewed.
Seismic factors, including Omega, Rho and Ev, can now be included in automatically generated Load Combinations. Values for Omega and Rho shall be entered into the Seismic tab of the Model Settings to be considered in the analysis.
The release of RISA-3D Version 19 includes the introduction of Yield-Link® Moment Connections, developed in conjunction with Simpson Strong-Tie®.
