User Defined Modulus of Rupture in ADAPT-Builder

For reinforced concrete and post-tensioned concrete beams and slabs, deflection control at serviceability conditions is a critical check for code compliance and satisfactory design. The ability to check if a member is cracked and has exceeded the cracking moment or threshold modulus at short- and...

Updated Shear Contribution for Concrete (Vc) per ACI 318-19

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.

Interaction of Shear Forces Acting Along Orthogonal Axes in Concrete

Recent tests and analytical results for concrete columns have indicated that considering shear along each centroidal axis independently can be unconservative. Therefore RISA-3D v19, RISAFloor v15 and RISAFoundation v13 have included the consideration for the interaction of shear forces acting along...

Understanding Out-of-Plane Shear Capacity of Concrete Wall Panels

When designing concrete shear walls for lateral loading, RISA-3D includes design checks for both in-plane and out-of-plane shear. In the condition where a concrete wall is under both axial tension and out-of-plane shear, the out-of-plane shear limit state for a specific region within the concrete...
