Black History Month is a month-long celebration in the United States that takes place annually from February 1 to March 1. This month-long celebration is dedicated to honoring and celebrating the contributions and influence of Black and African Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. As we enter February, we embark on a journey of celebration and reflection of Black History Month—a time to revel in the richness of Black culture, honor trailblazers, and amplify voices that echo through history. Join us in this joy-filled exploration as we dive into stories of triumph, courage, and unyielding determination. From iconic figures to modern inspirations, let's dance through the pages of history with enthusiasm, curiosity, and profound respect for the diverse contributions that have shaped our world of Structural Engineering. 1. African Burial Ground National Monument, NY The African Burial Ground National Monument in New York City is a poignant testament to resilience and remembrance. Crafted by the skilled hands of African American architect Rodney Leon, this monument stands as a solemn tribute to the burial ground of enslaved and free Africans during colonial times. Leon's architectural vision breathes life into the narratives of those laid to rest…

RISAFoundation v11.0 includes two new tabs in the Safety Factors results spreadsheet that breakdown the slab’s stabilizing and destabilizing forces for each category. The new Overturn/Resist by Category and Sliding/Resist by Category tabs make it easy to understand how the program calculates the...
RISAFoundation can apply soil overburden to a mat slab to account for the weight of the soil above the foundation. Simply enter a Soil Overburden pressure value for your foundation design in the Slabs spreadsheet. The soil overburden load is utilized to help the mat slab resist overturning during...
The 2015 NBC compliant codes have been implemented into RISA-3D v17.0, RISAFloor v13.0 and RISAFoundation V.11.0!
The 2016 edition of ASCE Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-16) is now available in RISA-3D v17.0, RISAFloor v13.0, and RISAFoundation v11.0!
RISAFoundation includes the added ability to enter a passive pressure for slabs. The passive pressure represents soil pressure along the perimeter of the slab and will contribute to the sliding resistance of the slab.
For concrete column members, the load combination producing the maximum shear code check is reported in the Detail Report and corresponding Results spreadsheet. Since concrete is evaluated based on a batch solution, this can be useful when shear governs the design.
Concrete pile design is now incorporated in the pile cap results in RISAFoundation. With the addition of axial pile design in RISAFoundation v10.0, the program can model concrete pile shapes and design the reinforcement, or the user can also apply their own custom rebar layout. Now you can get a...
RISAFoundation has the capability to consider seismic loading for retaining walls.
Our monthly "Structural Moment" newsletter is the best way to keep up with RISA’s product updates, new releases, new features, training events, webinars and more...
