AISC 341-16 & AISC 358-16 now included in RISA-3D
The AISC 341-16 and AISC 358-16 Edition changes have been implemented into RISA-3D v19.
Halloween isn’t just for candy and costumes—it’s the perfect time to test your spooky engineering skills! We’ve brewed up a Halloween-themed RISA Jeopardy game, packed with fun, easy questions about our software. Tip for readers: Try to answer before revealing the “treat” below each question! 💀 Can You Count? 100 – RISACalc: How many components are currently available in RISACalc? 10 (Beam, Column, Steel Joist, Composite Beam, Retaining Wall, Spread Footing, Wall Footing, Drilled Pier, Seismic Load, Wind Load) 200 – FD: How many Data Entry spreadsheets are available in RISAFoundation? 25 300 – RISA-3D: How many countries or regions have building codes supported in RISA-3D? 9 (US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Great Britain, India, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia) 🎃 Adaptable 100 – ADAPT: Which of these is not an ADAPT product? ADAPT-Builder, ADAPT-Felt, ADAPT-Floor, ADAPT-ABI ADAPT-Floor 200 – ADAPT: Which mode of ADAPT-Builder is used to design slabs-on-grade on expansive soils using the PTI method? ADAPT-SOG 🕸️ The Whole Family 100 – Other: This steel detailing software and fellow Nemetschek brand has a built-in export option in RISA-3D. SDS2 200 – Other: Which design code is the most common in our software, found in 8 of our 10 programs?…

The AISC 341-16 and AISC 358-16 Edition changes have been implemented into RISA-3D v19.
The new ACI 318-19 code has been implemented into RISA-3D v19, RISAFloor v15, and RISAFoundation v13. One of the biggest changes between the ACI 318-14 code and the ACI 318-19 code is the shear contribution provided by the concrete, Vc.
Recent tests and analytical results for concrete columns have indicated that considering shear along each centroidal axis independently can be unconservative. Therefore current versions of RISA-3D, RISAFloor and RISAFoundation have included the consideration for the interaction of shear forces...
The Quick Start Course is a 4-hour introduction to the basic features and functionality of RISA-3D that utilizes expert instruction and example models to familiarize users with the user interface as well as the main workflow of modeling, loading, analyzing, designing and documenting a model in...
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...
