The most recent release of AISC 360-16 (15th Edition) includes changes to connection design for rectangular HSS shapes with applied concentrated forces. These changes are now included in RISAConnection v10.
The release of RISAConnection v10 incorporates updates according to AISC 360-16 (15th Edition) including changes to HSS provisions as well as improved design for column webs subject to out-of-plane loading, in addition to other enhancements.
The AISC 360-16 (15th edition) has added a new section (see page 9-14 through 9-17) that gives direction on how to check the out-of-plane loading on the webs of wide flange columns which are subject to axial and/or bending loads. This applies to shear tabs, double angles and gusset plates attached...
RISAFloor is the RISA Building System’s floor design software which allows users to design with composite decks, elevated concrete slabs and more. When paired with RISA-3D, the two create a complete solution for the analysis and design of multi-story structures, including two buildings on the same...
RISA-3D is one of the few pieces of software on the market offering wood shear wall analysis and design accompanied by multiple design methods to best suit your detailing needs.

Modeling tapered gusset plates in RISAConnection is now easier than ever. With the recent addition of the Custom Angle input, you may now enter an angle to quickly cut back a gusset edge.
The base material at the location of a weld may have less strength than the weld itself. In this case it will control the overall strength of the welded connection. In order to account for this, RISAConnection uses a weld strength reduction factor (α) which we call the Base Material Proration...
Wide Flange beam to HSS Tube column moment connections can now be designed in RISAConnection version 9 with both the US and Canadian design standards. HSS tubes may be selected as the supporting column member on either of the two moment connections:
