Info:RISABase FeaturesWhen accuracy counts, RISABase delivers. RISABase uses an automated
finite element solution to provide exact bearing pressures, plate
stresses, and anchor bolt pull out capacities, eliminating the guess
work of hand methods. Define bi-axial loads and eccentric column
locations. Choose from several connection types and specify custom bolt
locations.
Base Plate Design•Plate and bolt design per AISC 13th Edition criteria
•Color-coded stress & bearing profiles
•Customized report generation
•Biaxial analysis, custom bolt locations, clearance checking, stiffeners, load reversal, etc.
Anchor Bolt Pull Out Capacity•Anchor bolt pull out capacity calcs per Appendix D of the ACI 05 code
•Failure pyramid diagrams display the concrete breakout strength
