Build 10.0.15
This release of AdSec introduces a new documentation website consists of all the information including theory, tutorials, validation and help documents. A fix to stiffness calculations for AASHTO and IRC112 standards is also addressed in this release
Feature
- Added a feature to allow users to easily navigate to the documentation website directly from the AdSec application. [ADSEC-2116]
Fixes
- Fixed an issue in EC2 based design codes where high crack width was observed for long neutral axis or pure tension cases. [ADSEC-2144]
- Corrected the calculation of interpolated deformations and section stiffnesses for AASHTO and IRC112 standards. [ADSEC-2199]
- Resolved a problem where stiffness values reported in the case details UI were not properly converting the units. [ADSEC-2201]
Build 10.0.14
This release of AdSec is a hotfix to address a known error in crack width calculation results in AdSec. It is available to external AdSec users for the time being.
Fixes
- Crack widths are now correctly calculated for sections under pure tension as per Eurocode 2. [ADSEC-1993]
Build 10.0.13
This release of AdSec is a second round of updates on the American design codes, this time affecting both the ACI 318 and AASHTO codes. The previously introduced cap on capacity curves on the ACI 318 code is now also available in the AASHTO codes. Additionally, it will now be possible to edit the strength reduction factors for ACI-318 codes in the advanced analysis options, vis-a-vis the AASHTO codes.
Features
- The capacity curves for all versions of the AASHTO codes will now have the cap of minimum eccentricities included. [ADSEC- 1977]
- The advanced analysis options for ACI-318 codes now enable the explicit definition of the strength reduction factor parameters. [ADSEC-1964, ADSEC-1967]
- Strength reduction factors are now displayed per case in the analysis task results table. [ADSEC-1970]
- Crack width results will now be calculated for each component of a compound section instead of only the first component.[ADSEC-1070]
Fixes
- Task results report will no longer generate empty reports when null cases are used to export results. [ADSEC-1342]
- AdSec will no longer crash when exporting CSV report of compound section a component with no bar and component with bar. [ADSEC-1428]
- Alpha factor will now be correctly calculated for AASHTO codes. [ADSEC-1495]
- AdSec will no longer crash if the file name contains non-ASCII characters. [ADSEC-1498]
- Moment stiffness charts will no longer update unexpected up on any interaction with the user interface. [ADSEC-1623]
- AdSec 10 will now correctly migrate or appropriately report any issues when migrating rebar grades from AdSec 8.4. [ADSEC-1784]
- AdSec will now use the correct k factors from the German national annex for cracking calculations. [ADSEC-1785]
- AdSec will no longer report or print any irrelevant crack width results which are not included in the calculations for ACI 318 code. [ADSEC-1898, ADSEC-1976]
- Decimal precision will now be as per the main settings for any inputs in the advanced analysis options. [ADSEC-1997]
- Strain units are now consistent across the settings and advanced analysis options for AASHTO and ACI codes. [ADSEC-2004]
