Elevate your outputs using the recently enhanced Tendon and Rebar Display Managers in ADAPT-Builder (23.0.0). ADAPT-Builder (23.0.0) gives users more control over the appearance of tendons and reinforcement thus saving time when it comes to creating tendon and reinforcement plans for submittals.
The latest release of ADAPT-Builder (23.0.0) includes the ability to design one-way slabs and beams for the effects of torsion. Through the shear design options of the criteria window the user can choose to check the torsional threshold only or, where the threshold is exceeded, design for the...
You've probably noticed those cell phone towers around town—those tall structures with antennas that help keep us connected. Well, they're not just getting taller; they're getting smarter! These structures, once purely functional, have transformed into architectural marvels that blend seamlessly...
New Year's for a structural engineer can be a time of reflection, planning, and setting professional goals. Here are some ideas on how you can celebrate the New Year:
This time of the year many of us will start singing this season's greatest hits: Let it Snow, white Christmas, and... Winter Wonderland. While these songs bring cheer to all our hearts, they are also a reminder to structural engineers of the unique design challenge posing many regions: Snow Loads!...
