With the release of ADAPT-Builder v21, users now has the option to have the program automatically calculate long-term load factors using two different methodologies. Calculation of Long-Term Load Factors is available using all design codes but is implemented based on ACI 209. When calculating these...
ADAPT-Builder v21 now includes a new set of Smart Tools that assist the user in efficient modeling and modification of tendons. These tools include smart creation of tendons where the tendon spans and shapes are determined by the program based on the location of support lines or banded tendons...
With the release of ADAPT-Builder v21, a new load combination generator (LC Generator) provides users the option to automatically generate code compliant load combinations for use in the analysis and design of an ADAPT-Builder model. Included in this feature, is the ability to include automatic...
Member Configuration The connection rule must be applied to both sides of the splice (either beam to beam or column to column)
New Design Code: AS3600 - 2018 ADAPT-PT/RC has been updated to include the latest Australian - AS3600 (2018) concrete design code. The provisions in this design standard that have been included in ADAPT-PT/RC include but are not limited to:
Gabrielle Brisco is a Product Design Engineer at RISA and has been with the company since December 2017. After receiving a BS in Civil Engineering from the University of California, Irvine and a MS in Civil Engineering from UCLA, she worked in the telecommunication industry for Tectonic...
Member Configuration The connection rule must be applied at the end of the beam (not the column).
RISA-3D, RISAFloor and RISAFoundation allow users to create custom load combination sets by modifying and expanding the underlying XML file used by the Load Combination Generator. To learn more, review the video and article below:
One of the advantages of the RISA Building System is the ability to utilize and share model information (geometry, loading, etc.) between software packages. One such way, is the ability to define hot-rolled steel connections in RISAFloor and/or RISA-3D and then transfer them to RISAConnection for...
