Risa3d Plate Analysis
Risa3d Plate Analysis
(OP)
Can you use Risa3d plate tools to accurately model stresses in a member, such as a column and base plate interaction? I have modeled a column section and base plate using plates. The stresses calculated look reasonable. Just wondering how accurate risa is being used in this manner and if anyone has had experience analyzing something like this with risa plates? Its kind of more for fun than work but if it can provide something to compare other results with it could possibly be beneficial for work. For example, checking stresses of weird complex built up members observed in the field.
Thanks,
Thanks,

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Connections heavily depend on more complex material behaviours, and often backed by serious testing and experiments.
That's why those formulas are implemented in the codes. I'd rely on the codified methods.
