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.
In RISA-3D we now have the ability to:
In RISA-3D, you can define a boundary condition as Fixed (reaction will be calculated) or Fixed, (reaction will NOT be calculated).
We are proud to introduce drastically improved solution times in RISAFoundation version 10.0. This version was updated to include multi-threading/parallel processing capability which will allow it to take advantage of multiple core processors which are becoming extremely common on the market today.
The BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014 has been implemented in RISA-3D version 16.0 and RISAFloor version 12.0. To select this code for your design, simply open the Model Settings and under the Codes tab select BS EN 1992-1-1:2004+A1:2014 for concrete:
The new TMS 402-16 Masonry Code (formerly designated as ACI 530 and ASCE 5) have been added to RISA-3D v16.0, RISAFloor v12.0 and RISAFoundation v10.0.
