Dear guyz, here is a tip for you based on my experience with RISABASE, the only software (reliable) i was able to find to analyse biaxial moments and concrete anchorage design for baseplates. I found a very strange problem in it! while working in Metric units...so please always work in imperial units other wise you will be mislead here is the summary of my long conversation with risabase guyz...at last they accepted their mistake and promised to remove it next version..unfortunately they are releasing next version at the end of this year! -------------- From: Support [mailto:support@risatech.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 8:41 PM To: Waseem Sarwar Subject: RE: Inquiry about Risabase calculations Waseem, I am seeing a problem with this. I have written this up as an issue and we will make sure this is fixed for version 3 of RISABase, due out later this year. Thanks for your persistence on this.

I am Ali Ahmed, working as lecturer in University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore. I have completed my MSc Structural Engineering from the same university. I was the topper of my BSc Session (2004) & won four gold medals. Along with the lecturer-ship I am also participating actively in different research projects being carried out in UET Lahore.

Hi Everyone, I have added a new profile field: "Employer". The idea is that people can have an idea about what kind of company you work for.(EPC, commercial, Testing etc). Please take a moment and update your profiles. Thanks.

Salam bro, now working in an NGO in Islamabad, but want to come to Saudia, can u help me in this regard ..?

When you do commercial design in Pakistan, not every bldg has a super construction team. Considering local practise, the best thing is to keep you seismic parameters of the zone you are in and use a lower R Value. This would be little over design but safe.

Dont share your conversation but tell us where things get screwed?

Uzair Keller Grundbau Gmbh - Middle East (since last 3 years)

hi there. I am Uzair. Hardly managed to graduate from NUST in 2008 with many medals of Dsss in Structural Engineering. And now working with one of a leading pure geotechnical engineering related firm with its presence all over the world, and my presence primarily in Muscat, Dubai & Abu Dhabi. And i am really enjoying my life in geotechnics.

BMI specially TEKLA and REVIT

True, Its important to know if its equilbrium torsion or compatibility torsion. If you know that you can decide the level of risk you can take by not doing calculations.

right way is to put torsional bars and distribute based on width to height ratio along sides of the beams and also at top and bottom of the beam. but some times if it is very less...we put just add it to top and bottom of the beam as the section may not be so deep! but ofcourse you cannot ignore equilibrium torsion...there is another torsion called compatibility torsion! just search in ACI you will find the terms!

so at last we have a forum where only engineering is not discussed and its open...good to c ..i just joined now..now see what i do here blast! jk!

sick money is lots of money. I dont personally know anyone who is in water resources. Sorry about that!

i am working for the installation/execution/construction of over head transmission lines. it is only good for those who can travel minimum 300 km/day, believe in long distance relationships and having only half of brain active. for consultancy, the issues are very technical and are very romantic to handle

My name is Shahjahan Akbar. i am graduate of MCE. i ithought in early years of my engineering that i am going to be vey bad engineer. but i wus wrong :P i am as good as Makhzomi Muhammad can only dream

That is very nice of you umaaa to making such an awsum plateform , i know very less about structural engineering bt i am proud of you
