RCDC (SACD) Connect Edition V11 Update1 (11.01.00.180)We are pleased to announce a release of RCDC (STAAD Advanced Concrete Design / SACD) 11.01.00.180 version. This is a Minor release which consist of following features,
1. Addition of Soil and Fluid load in the load case list
2. Addition of load type for Earthquake and Wind loads in Euro code
3. Addition of Tapered and Stepped type wall in the Tank structure module
4. Exporting Tank geometry and reinforcement data to i-twin model through ISM
5. Addition of Pile-cap deign in Australian code – AS 3600:2018
To find out more about the features added in this release, refer the attached release note.SACD(RCDC)_Release Note - 11.01.00_________________________________________________________________________________________RCDC (SACD) Connect Edition V11 (11.00.00.143)
We are pleased to announce a release of RCDC (STAAD Advanced Concrete Design / SACD) 11.00.00.143 version. This is a major release which consist of addition of Australian code and Belgium Annex for BS EN Code.
AS 3600:2018 (Australian Standard – Concrete Structures) is added in RCDC. With this addition, all the structural elements can now be designed using AS 3600:2018. Pile-cap module is available as ‘tech-preview’.
NBN EN 1992-1-1 (ANB: 2010) (Belgium annex) is added in RCDC. With this addition, all the structural elements can now be designed using Belgium Annex of BS EN code.
BS EN 02-1-1-2004 code (the base Eurocode), is now available with a new form for input for the various constants defined in BS EN code. The design of all elements would be based on these constants. User can change these factors to suit the local design requirements.
Design of tank structures is now available for the Base Euro code (BS EN 02-1-1-2004), Singapore Annex (SS NA) and Malaysian Annex (MS NA).
Column Beam Joint check is now performed as per BS EN 1998-1-2004 code for Base and all Annex of Euro code. when user selects the Ductile frame as Type High, joint check would be performed.
For ACI code, RCDC now allows user to define the lateral loads (Earthquake & Wind) as ‘Factored or Un-factored’. Accordingly, appropriate load factors are used to create load combinations template.
In Footing design, effect of buoyancy due to water is now considered in the minimum pressure check when water table is above the foundation level.
To find out more about the features added in this release, refer the attached release note.

RCDC (SACD) Connect Edition V10 (10.00.00.278)
We are pleased to announce a release of RCDC (STAAD Advanced Concrete Design / SACD) 10.00.00.278 version. This is a major release which consist of addition of new code and all new tank structures design module.
NSCP – 2015 – (National Structural Code of the Philippines) is added in RCDC. With the addition of this code, all the structural elements can now be designed for NSCP – 2015
New module is added in RCDC for design of tank structures (liquid retaining structures). This is now available as General release. The design would be based on EN 02 -1-1- 2004 + EN 02 -3 – 2006 UK code
Calculation and design for sway shear at supports in ductile beam as per from EN 08 – 1 -2004 has been implemented for medium and high-class ductility frames.
