I tried Woodworks many years ago and didn't find it productive at the time. I found it too tedious for single member design. For an entire framing system, it didn't provide a "final" analysis, but a "conceptual" analysis (based on my feeble memory, I could be in error with the terms). That...
I'm going to look at a situation where a concrete beam has spalled concrete and the owner would like to repair it. I don't have any issue with doing this. I would probably specify something like Sika Dur Hi Mod 32 for a bonding agent, but my concern is, unless I shore the beam to relieve the...
If a roof deck will be used by people, ASCE 7 says I need to use the same live load as the occupancy served (table 4.3-1).
Is the Cd = 1.00 or 1.25?
Thank you,
I have two apps on my Android phone which simulates an HP48:
Droid48
48sx
I have a real HP35s.
Problem:
On my HP35s, when I want to store a number, I press STO then a key. The key I most often use is the upper left hand one marked "A". When I want to recall that number, I press RCL and then "A"...
I guess I'm still having difficulty applying wind loads on buildings based on ASCE 7. I got over it on C&C with help from members here by pointing out I don't have to use a trib area less than L^2/3.
Now, I'm stuck on the MWFRS, chapter 28. Here, I'm only interested in the net horizontal force...
Is there an exception for hold down anchors in concrete using for wood-framed single family residences? If not, all my anchorage capacities have diminished greatly.
TIA
I have a plan check comment that one of my beams is 2% overstressed. While I always try not to exceed a CSR ratio of 1.0, it sometimes happens (putting a bigger beam is expensive, not available, etc.). This is a wood-framed residential remodel, which should be as safe as any other structure, I...
I need to attach a 2x nailer to a HSS section. It needs to be a flush connection.
Welded studs will not leave enough meat.
Simpson fasteners can only go into steel that is 5/16" thick or thinner.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Is it possible to view only a portion of a model? For example, if I have a 3 story building with a roof, can I create a view so I only see the second floor framing? Otherwise, there's too much clutter in the way.
Thank you
Still a RISA noobie.
I'm checking deflections of the attached model, particularly Span 2 of FB-1. When I look at the spreadsheet for Member Deflections (Explorer/Results/Member Deflections), I find the minimum (maximum negative) deflection to be 0.28" for LC 3.LC 3 is full LL (RLL + FLL). This...
RISA 3D noobie here.
How does one apply an area load to a non-rectangular area.
Attached is an outline of my tributary floor.

How do I import a RISA Section into a 3D Model?
I watched the tutorial, but it is based on a previous version of RISA with a totally different interface.
Do I have to store the sections in a specific folder or what?
TIA
