The CSA A23.3-14 Concrete Design Code has been implemented into RISA-3D v20 and RISAFloor v16 for concrete wall panels. These walls can be designated and designed as either gravity only or lateral elements in RISAFloor when designing a complete building utilizing concrete walls. Prior to this release, only ACI codes were supported for the design of concrete wall panel elements.
When using the new A23.3-14 code for the design of concrete wall panels, the software incorporates the following limit state checks:
- In-Plane Bending
- Out-of-Plane Bending
- Combined Axial + Bending
- In-Plane Shear
- Out-of-Plane Shear
- Various Geometry & Rebar Checks per Clauses 14.1.7 & 14.1.8
