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...
The Properties Grid is a new improvement to the user-interface for ADAPT-Builder v20. The Properties Grid is a docked window, that facilitates user efficiency when modifying a single component or a selection of components. In addition, the user can use the property grid to filter-select components....

The latest releases of RISAFloor (Version 15.0.1) and RISA-3D (Version 19.0.1) include consideration for accidental torsion and eccentric loading for semi-rigid diaphragms according to requirements outlined in ASCE 7, Section 12.8.4.2.
In this video, the calculated moment capacity of a slab with base reinforcement, as well as the cover requirements for base reinforcement are reviewed.
Seismic factors, including Omega, Rho and Ev, can now be included in automatically generated Load Combinations. Values for Omega and Rho shall be entered into the Seismic tab of the Model Settings to be considered in the analysis.
The release of RISA-3D Version 19 includes the introduction of Yield-Link® Moment Connections, developed in conjunction with Simpson Strong-Tie®.
New to RISA-3D v19 and RISAFoundation v13 is the ability to apply up to 100 "Other Load" Categories. Previously users only had the ability to add up to 10 "Other Load" Categories. The expansion of "Other Load" Categories gives the user more flexibility to be able to apply and organize the loading...
New to RISAFloor and RISAFoundation is the ability to exclude results by selection. Excluding results from your model is useful when there are certain elements whose results aren’t of interest to you. Removing this clutter from the results will enable you to concentrate on the elements you are most...
