This video tutorial will show you how to design a base plate in RISAConnection for both gravity and lateral loads. You can automatically transfer your column end forces from RISAFloor or RISA-3D into RISAConnection.
RISAFloor v11 allows users to add parapets while allowing the program to calculate the wind loads per the ASCE 7 parapet wind loading requirements.
The new Aluminum ADM 2015 code has been added in RISA-3D v15.0. To select this code for your design, simply open the (Global) Model Settings and under the Codes tab select AA ADM1-15:
The bending and axial code checks for single angles differ somewhat from other shape types, because single angles behave quite differently in bending and compression depending on how they are braced along their length.
RISA-3D can design the Cold Formed Steel face-to-face channel and track sections. You can also get design of a Cold Formed Steel tube shape in RISA-3D. The Shape Selection dialog will allow you to model the built-up sections by selecting “Face to Face” shown below.
RISAFloor now has the ability to model a Semi-Rigid, Rigid or Flexible diaphragms to distribute lateral loads. For more information about the different diaphragm types, click on the link below.
The new CSA O86-14 code has been implemented in RISA-3D v15.0 and RISAFloor v11.0
RISAConnection v7 recently added a new Knee Brace (Kicker Brace) connection type. This connection can be designed at the brace to column or brace to beam.
RISAConnection v7 now allows both Transverse Column Flange Stiffeners and Column Web Doublers to be applied to Beam to Column Moment Connections.
