AISC 341-16 & AISC 358-16 now included in RISAConnection
The AISC 341-16 and AISC 358-16 Edition changes have been implemented into RISAConnection v13.
The 4th of July is a time for celebration, fireworks, and, of course, a bit of fun. For those with a knack for engineering or simply looking to engage in some creative activities, why not take on some patriotic engineering challenges? These activities are perfect for kids and adults alike, providing an entertaining way to celebrate Independence Day while sharpening your problem-solving skills. Here are three exciting challenges to get you started: 1. Popsicle Stick Bridge Materials Needed: Popsicle sticks Glue (wood glue or a hot glue gun) Small weights (coins, toy cars, etc.) Challenge: Design and build a small bridge using only popsicle sticks and glue. The goal is to create a bridge that can support as much weight as possible. This activity not only tests your creativity but also your understanding of structural integrity and load distribution. Instructions: Plan Your Design: Before you start gluing, sketch out a design for your bridge. Consider different types of bridges, such as beam, truss, or arch bridges. Build the Foundation: Begin by constructing the main supports for your bridge. Glue several popsicle sticks together side by side for a strong base. Assemble the Bridge: Connect the supports with horizontal and diagonal…

RISA-3D is expanding its industry leading support for the analysis and design of various materials with the implementation of Seismic Design of Masonry Wall Panels according to the provisions of TMS 402-16 (as well as ACI 530-13). When creating a model in RISA-3D, users now have the ability to...
The ability to design buckling restrained braced frames has been added to RISA-3D when you integrate your model from RISAFloor. In collaboration with CoreBrace, this new feature came as part of the release of RISA-3D v19.0.0 and RISAFloor v15.0.0.

With the release of RISA-3D v19.0.2, you can now design special concentrically braced frames (SCBF) as well as buckling restrained braced frames (BRBF) according to the capacity-limited design. The objective of capacity-limited design is to ensure columns and beams in braced frames are designed to...
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.
With the release of RISAFoundation v13, you now have the ability to transfer Response Spectra Analysis reactions from RISA-3D v19. RISAFoundation now also includes additional seismic options that can be considered in the generation of Load Combinations.
The AISC 341-16 and AISC 358-16 Edition changes have been implemented into RISA-3D v19.
Modeling and analyzing structures for dynamic conditions is essential to understanding how a structure will react to loading such as wind and seismic. These analysis types can include simple free vibration analysis as well as more advanced response spectra and time history analysis. RISA-3D is...
