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.

Its in karachi, and karachi is zone 2A or 2B, Height I am not sure!

believe me guyz! i have personal experience in this...but God saved me...cz the design which i had done by selecting SI units was conservative...it will always be! so it was not under designed...i found this mistake after spending continous 4 full nights on the issue! If any one interested i can provide him with full conversation to his personal email! but the summary is here --------------------- 1) If you use SI units it will report tension capacity of bolts in Mpa but the value will be still in ksi units! its the biggest confusion! although the shear value will be ok 2) If you use SI units it will not calculate the pull out and other concrete anchorage capacities correctly!
