Tekla became part of Trimble Buildings Group in 2011. The company was established in 1966, and today it has customers in 100 countries, offices in 15 countries, and a global partner network. Tekla drives the evolution of digital information models and provides competitive advantage to the construction and infrastructure industry.
RISA software products are used by 24 of the top 25 US design firms in over 70 countries around the world for buildings, stadiums, bridges and everything in between. RISA Technologies has been developing cutting-edge structural design and optimization software for over 25 years. ”RISA is an established leader in the steel engineering analysis and design industry and a natural pairing in bringing connection design to our solution and users.” ”We strive to continuosly improve our solutions to meet the needs of a structural steel industry that is facing new challenges with shorter lead times, a greater need to collaborate across disciplines and problems in revision handling,” said Mark Allphin, Business Manager of Steel for Tekla, Inc.

With the RISA-Tekla Link, users of Tekla Structures and RISAConnection can: The result is increased accuracy and a reduction in the time and cost associated with steel connection design. This eliminates the need to manually enter connection components into separate design software. The RISA-Tekla Link extends these capabilities to include steel connection design, a critical piece of the overall design process, directly within the Tekla Structures environment. With Tekla Structures, users create and manage accurately detailed, highly constructible 3D structural models that can be used to ensure success across the entire building process from conceptual design to fabrication, erection and construction management. Available this month, the new RISA-Tekla Link gives users the combined benefit of the design, detailing and collaboration strengths of Tekla Structures and the comprehensive steel connection design features of RISAConnection. (April 17, 2013) - Tekla, a leader in bringing building information modeling (BIM) software and online tools to the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) markets, and RISA Technologies, a market-proven analysis and design software company, announced they have partnered to bring together two leading steel design solutions. The results from the basic analysis showed that we need to address controlling moments and deflections in critical members for a better hurricane resistant design.ATLANTA, GA. It was found that member M1 with no brace and four braces respectively produced the largest and smallest moments and member M4 with no brace and four braces respectively produced the highest and lowest deflections.
A total of six loading cases were studied in this project namely: uniformly distributed and concentrated loads with no brace, two braces and four brace combinations.
The design factors for the calculation of the wind pressure were obtained from the ASCE manual and the members were selected from AISC-LRFD. In this basic work, we used hurricane intensity loads to study the effect of a hurricane on a typical shopping mall located in South Texas region using RISA-3D (Rapid Interactive Structural Analysis – 3 Dimensions) software along with the combination of design specifications from American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and American Institute of Steel Construction-Load-Resistance and Factor Design (AISC-LRFD). Therefore, there is a need to study these hurricanes and produce a better hurricane resistant design. Accordingly, US has experienced a number of hurricanes and its after effects are still evident.
This is because the US has an extensive shoreline. Hurricanes are natural disaster and have a high probability rate of impact in the US. In recent years, there has been an increase in United States (US) population and hence subsequently the increase in construction.
