Watch the recording of our webinar to learn how new versions of RISA-3D, RISAFloor, RISAFoundation and RISAConnection provide users with expanded design capabilities, improved product integration and new features including:
Learn how KL&A utilized RISA to model and analyze the complex geometrical conditions of the new US Olympic & Paralympic Museum located in Colorado Springs, CO.
Overview FRP or Fiber Reinforced Polymer (thermoset) composite materials are becoming more and more popular in the construction world of today. There are many reasons for using composite materials, which go beyond the scope of this article but suffice to say that composite/FRP materials are now...
Learn how ADAPT-PT/RC uses a straightforward model input and definition process to efficiently analyze and design a variety of reinforced concrete and post-tensioned concrete beams and slabs.
ADAPT-Builder is a three-dimensional free-form finite element software for structural concrete modeling and analysis. Structural components in ADAPT-Modeler do not have to be input along grid lines or at connective, adjoining node locations as is the case in most other structural engineering...
RISAConnection v12 now includes the ability for engineers to create and analyze custom anchor bolt layouts from scratch or using predefined templates. To learn more, check out the video below.
If you have utilized Hold-Down's in RISA-3D, you have mostly likely noticed that a value of CD is reported for each selection in the database. However, it may not be clear how it is being used?
In the Node Reaction spreadsheet, all reactions from node-based boundary conditions are reported. If you look closely at some models, there may be wall panel labels in the Node Reactions spreadsheet as well. This may cause users to ask the question:”what are these reaction values for a...
Introduction In the design of two-way post-tensioned slabs, whether it be by use of unbonded or bonded tendons, precompression or “average minimum precompression,” is a critical serviceability requirement in ACI318. It is used to serve as a means for selecting a prestressing force and/or quantity...
