The AISC 341-16 and AISC 358-16 Edition changes have been implemented into RISA-3D v19.
To select this code for your design, simply choose the AISC 360-16 code from the Codes tab within the Model Settings. Previously, when the AISC 360-16 code was selected, the seismic detailing checks still used the AISC 341/385-10 codes.
A few notable changes in RISA between AISC 341/358-10 and AISC 341/358-16 include:
-
Calculation of limiting width-to-thickness ratios in Table D1.1
-
Calculation for bracing requirements for moderate ductility members or high ductility members
-
Calculation of sum of expected flexural strength of beams at the plastic hinge location for special moment frames
-
Calculation of required shear strength of connections.
-
Calculation of expected compressive strength for braced frames.
-
Use of ASTM A1085/A1085M for HSS shapes
