Welded Wire Reinforcement added to RISA structural engineering software.

The Wire Reinforcement Institute is excited to announce that RISA, one of the structural engineering community’s most popular and respected software solution providers, has recently included welded wire reinforcement (WWR) in the latest releases of its RISAFloor (V16.0.4) and RISAFoundation (V14.0.4) software programs. With this enhancement, structural engineers now have the option of utilizing WWR as structural reinforcement in the analysis and design of elevated concrete one-way and two-way slabs, concrete mat foundations, shallow concrete footings, and concrete pile caps.

Both RISAFloor and RISAFoundation can each be used as standalone structural engineering analysis and design tool, or deployed seamlessly with each other and/or with RISA-3D to create a suite of integrated software solutions.

See below for a brief video on WWR functionality in RISAFloor, as well as links to the help files for RISAFloor and RISAFoundation.
