    Paperless workflow, tablets with stylus?

    @milkshakelake Wow, 24" sounds fantastic! Did it come with a robot maid named Rosie? My Surface Pro3 with Drawboard PDF would sometimes pixelate when I zoomed in, but re-render in a second or two. It would do the same if I was zoomed in and panned to a different section of the document. The...

    Paperless workflow, tablets with stylus?

    I agree 100% that Windows is the way to go. Even with the millions of apps out there, Android and iOS are significantly less flexible. Windows will be easier to 1. integrate into your own filesystems, 2. allow for easier changes/upgrades to your own filesystems, and 3. make it easier to access...

    MWFRS vs. C&C loads for thick concrete roof (Storm Shelter)?

    Take this with a grain of salt - I am still an EI I am under the impression that C&C is for local conditions of individual components (is this 4x8 piece of sheathing going to split?) and MWFRS was for global conditions of the entire structure (is my wall going to separate from my roof?). Based...

    spSlab installed on virtual machine

    They probably don't want you to put it on a VM because of the ease of portability and duplication. Their website says the license is for the machine, so when you replace the machine every however many years, you have to buy a new license. If it is on a VM, you upgrade the host, move the VM to...

    RISA + SAP2000 + Eriksson Culvert Results Not Matching?

    @dold That is a very well put together spreadsheet. Thank you, I'm looking forward to going through it! I finally figured out the final piece to make all three results agree... The Eriksson manual talks about applying a distributed load in an upward direction to the bottom slab when we don't...

    RISA + SAP2000 + Eriksson Culvert Results Not Matching?

    @dold Thanks for the response! Horizontal Loads: The results I am comparing are the values in the 'Vdc' column of the 'Unfactored Shears due to All Loads' table on p8 of the Eriksson report. There are other results in the Eriksson report that contain horizontal loads, but the column I am...

    RISA + SAP2000 + Eriksson Culvert Results Not Matching?

    @JoshPlumSE: Thank you! Wow, I don't know if I ever would have caught that. I changed the Icr factor on the Concrete Beam tab and Concrete Column tab of RISA's Members Table from [blank] to 1 and now the results between RISA and SAP agree. I feel like this was a significant step forward. I am...

    RISA + SAP2000 + Eriksson Culvert Results Not Matching?

    I am an EIT with very little experience using modeling software trying to learn via Google and User Manuals. I used Eriksson Culvert to model a simple structure: a 12'x12' concrete box culvert. All 4 members are 5ksi concrete (150pcf) with a 12"x12" cross-section. There is no fill over the...
