I am looking to learn how to use the SRWall software. I googled tutorials online and found multiple sites linking to two seperate webinars on the software but none of the links work. Does anyone know where these webinars can be watched? Ill link the SRWall website that had the missing link...

@MTNClimber I was able to reproduce the results from the example by NCMA. I was also able to contact someone from NCMA and they confirmed the equations and numbers so I went back and over analyzed the equation and found my problem. They pointed to a possible error or using the wrong B value...

I am currently looking to develop a spreedsheet that will help do backslope calculations for a segmented retaining wall. I am attempting to work through the Appendix B example in the back of the "Design Manual for Segmental Retaining Wall, 3rd Edition" and cannot seem to verify how they are...

I am designing a column that supports a glass railing on a roof. The column has very little axial load but has a large horizontal load applied from the wind causing a moment. I have a standard base plate connection with 4 bolts and am attempting to determine the tension in the two bolts in...

I've been a longtime excel user but have seen a lot of people commenting on their use of SMath and I am interested in learning how to use it but I am struggling to find some good guides/tutorials. Does anyone have any links to resources that will help me learn SMath? Thank you!

I apologize for not stating, those are the (Ps) and (Pq) are the pressures generated on the retaining wall by the soils and surcharge respectively. The active pressures acting upon the wall. I am not sure if you are to combine these pressures with a point load but I know when I calculated my...

@JedClampett -The TL-3 AASHTO code that is just a specific vehicular loading type which gives the horizontal point load. -I am attempting to design just for a 1' strip but the load is being distributed over a "spread" which is also specified in the TL-3 loading. This gives a load that is...

I am designing a segmented block retaining wall with a barrier on the top. The top of this retaining wall is a road and the barrier, according to TL-3, will have a 54K horizontal point load to account for the impact from a car. I have designed a spreadsheet that will calculate the bearing...

I have a simple rectangle commercial building with masonry sheer walls. We are looking to design the out of plane loads on the walls. The building is 144'x57' and the wind and seismic out-of-plane loads need to be considered. For the wind case, I have the wind loads acting in plane and have...

Well I found my error and I want to bang my head against the wall for how simple this was. I was clicking on the edge of the wall that I saw. Said wall was rendered 80% so I was just clicking on empty space in the mind of the program. Thank you for the help, I apologize for the simple questions...

@JoshPlum I have a one story box style building that I want to apply a line load at the top of the wall panel (Using Wood Shear Walls) to account for this added load. I am struggling to attach a load to the top. When I use the "Add distributed loads to members/wall panels" it seems like the...

I am fairly new with RISA and am working on a design that has a overhang extending off the entrance of the building and side (like an eyebrow) by about 2'. This overhang has a parapet wall extending higher than the normal walls as well. Being that it is not a wall member, I am unsure if there is...
