RCDC should read and and design shear wall and retaining wall having tapered section. Stepped shear wall design should also be done in RCDC.

To determine stability analysis of raft foundation in SFA, Automatic features (by few clicks) is not available in SFA, rather much more manual, repetative, tedious and time consuming process, which lessens the efficiency and deliverables of softwa...

For designing of "ring wall foundation" in SFA, as of now, only "Ground supported ring wall foundation design" available in SFA. But "Pile supported ring wall foundation design " isn't available. So it is necessary to implement the same in SFA.

Currently, water tank design is only available for the Euro Code. Please update for use with current ACI code.

similar to the sliding & uplift factors, would be helpful if there's an option to enter Overturning safety factor also.

This check should be implemented in RCDC as we know during design the reinforcement area maybe needed to be increased in order to pass the beam deflection check

Currently we cannot import Etabs latest version files in RCDC. Creating a .accdb file takes a lot of time. So this capability is essential

Currently in staad foundation max/min bearing pressure is shown only for the compression cases.Incase the minimum pressure is governed in uplift case the same is not shown in the summary table.Same can be updated in upcoming revisions.Also the bea...

we conventionally add a new job and assign all the parameters from scratch while trying to replicate a similar footing desing within the same STAAD.Foundation file. however adding a cop/replicate/clone job might save time avoid the chance of missi...

There should be a feature in RCDC whereby you can group selected footing for combine footing design and detailing. Or, after RCDC is finish footing designs and the distance between adjacent footings are below a specified minimum, then RCDC should ...
