When a steel joist has special loading that requires extra consideration, the most economical solution may be to use a standard joist that is capable of resisting the non-standard or special loading. When this type of design arises, RISAFloor will add an (SP) extension to the joist designation in...
RISA software is staying current with all the Windows updates in order to bring you the best quality that Windows recommends. Unfortunately, that means it will require a little extra time during installation and your computer could require a reboot more than once. The current versions of RISA...
The ability to design buckling restrained braced frames has been added to RISA-3D when you integrate your model from RISAFloor. In collaboration with CoreBrace, this new feature came as part of the release of RISA-3D v19.0.0 and RISAFloor v15.0.0.

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.
