Update: July 2022 The issues with Windows 10 (Version 1803) have been solved. However, for customers still using older versions of RISA products, the workaround using compatibility mode described below may still be useful.
RISAFloor ES has the ability to check the Long Term Deflection with Creep and Shrinkage. The program uses an iterative method to adjust the plate stiffness until it converges upon a solution. You can setup all the necessary coefficients and factors in the Model Settings (as shown below).
RISAConnection Version 8.0 now offers Vertical Brace Diagonal Connections, the Vertical Chevron Brace Connection, and the Knee Brace Connection according to the Canadian (CSA S16-09 or CSA S16-14) design codes.
RISAConnection v8 now offers weak axis moment connections with beams framing into the web of a wide flange column. Previously, connections were only permitted to frame into the column flange. This additional feature will allow users to change the orientation of their wide flange column.
RISAFoundation has the capability to consider seismic loading for retaining walls.
Now available in RISAConnection v8: the ability to design a Two-Sided Shear Connection. Building from our existing one-sided shear connection (for column/beam & girder/beam), this connection now offers the user a powerful tool to provide clip angles to both sides of the column or girder web.
In RISA-3D we now have the ability to design concrete shear walls for seismic forces.
You may now design a Brace to Column Base Plate Connection in RISAConnection v8. This connection type combines the original single column base plate with a gusset from a connected vertical brace member. The connection allows tapered or rectangular gussets that frame into either the column flange or...
In RISAConnection v8, you may now design a Knee Brace and Diagonal Brace with a tapered gusset plate. One of the greatest benefits is the decreased size of a brace gusset plate by manipulating the fold line location.
