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 current versions of RISA-3D, RISAFloor and RISAFoundation have included the consideration for the interaction of shear forces...

Add Single Layer of Reinforcement anywhere in Slab
RISAFoundation has the ability to create a single layer of reinforcement anywhere in a slab. This improvement allows for a more straightforward design of thin, lightly loaded slab-on-grade where two layers of reinforcement (top/bottom) would be unnecessary. In order to add a single layer of...
