Updated June 2014

Enhancements

1. ACI 318-11 Appendix D update for anchor design in base plates.
2. Base plate assignment and design speed has been increased remarkably.
3. Option to include the footing/pedestal reinforcement in the anchor design per ACI 318-11 D.5.2.9 (tension) and D.6.2.9 (shear).
4. Option to include friction effects (base plate against concrete) in anchor shear resistance per AISC Design Guide 1 section 3.5.1.
5. The anchor bolts database can now be edited by the user, just like the regular bolts database.

Resolved Issues

1. The correct design code is now being reported in the design reports. Version 9.0 had this mishap inadvertently.
2. Shear rupture is no longer checked for beams with no copes.
3. Through plate connections now check compression buckling for long plates and eccentricity is properly calculated for bolts and welds.
4. Connection IDs and Descriptions are no longer missing in the report.
5. Shear lug dimensions were not being displayed correctly in the DXF view.
6. Splice plates were not drawing one plate only when the single plate option was being checked in the Connection Pad.
7. The slip coefficient µ for Class A surfaces was using the AISC 360-05 value (0.35), even when AISC 360-10 (0.30) was being selected. This has now been fixed.
