RISAConnection
An Essential Tool for Steel Connection Design
Version 13
Exhaustive List of Connection Types
Whether you’re designing shear, moment, brace or base plate connections, RISAConnection has you covered. Want to design HSS connections or seismically detailed connections? No problem.
Available Connection Types
RISAConnection is at the cutting edge of next-generation connection design software and features full 3D visualization as well as expandable reports for every limit state. A robust library of steel connections (for US and Canadian codes) including shear, moment, brace and base plate connections. Quickly create a single connection or model multiple connections in a single project. Click through simple and easy windows and property selections. No drawing is required from users in the standalone software.

Features
- Shear Connections
- Moment Connections
- Brace Connections
- Base Plate Connections
- Splice Connections
Design and optimize steel member connections using RISAConnection. Utilize practical seismic connection design for moment and braced frames according to AISC 341 and AISC 358. Analyze non-concentric connections such as Diagonal Brace Connections by using unlimited geometry design. RISAConnection analyzes several design code checks from AISC such as stability, welding, and steel material just to name a few.
