Eurocode Steel Design According to EN1993-1-1:2014 now Available

You can now set the L-Torque length for the EN1993-1-1:2014 code in RISA-3D and RISAFloor. In previous versions of the Eurocode, RISAFloor and RISA-3D used the full member length as the torque length when calculating torsional buckling. Now, per EN1993-1-1:2014 Section 13.3.2, we’ve added the L-Torque input for the Eurocode similar to how it is done in the AISC 13th/14th Editions. The input for L-Torque length is entered in the Members spreadsheet or the double-click dialog for the member. The Detail Report shows the torque length separate from the other lengths for EN1993-1-1:2014…

Wood Design per AWC NDS 2015 Wood Code

The latest versions of RISA-3D and RISAFloor now incorporate the AWC NDS 2015. The new provisions have been implemented in RISA-3D v14.0 and RISAFloor v10.0 and can be utilized by selecting the AWC NDS-15: ASD from the Wood dropdown menu on the Codes tab of Model Settings. After solution, the results are available in the Design Results spreadsheet. A Member Detail Report can be used to verify the code selection used in your design…

Stainless Steel Design per US Codes now Available

Stainless Steel provisions are now available in RISA-3D v16 according to the AISC Design Guide 27 - Structural Stainless Steel. Stainless steel shape properties and member design are based on the recommendations in the AISC Design Guide 27 Structural Stainless Steel. The procedure outlined in the design guide follows the 2010 AISC Specification and 14th Edition Steel Manual. In the Model Settings on the Codes tab there is an option for Stainless Steel code for either AISC 14th (360-10) ASD or LRFD. Stainless steel shapes are similar to the shapes in the AISC database for all shapes. Thus, RISA currently supports only the AISC steel database for the shape selection of stainless steel members. The Stainless Steel Design Parameters Spreadsheet records the design parameters for the stainless steel code checks and may be accessed by selecting Members on the Data Entry Toolbar and then selecting the Stainless tab. These parameters are defined for each individual member and may also be assigned graphically. The design for stainless steel follows the design for hot-rolled steel design with a few exceptions which are outlined in the design guide. The Design Results are on the Stainless Steel tab in the Design Results spreadsheet. The…
