ASDIP Retain Updates History

Update 2.1.4 - 3/23/12

1. Improved the robustness of the program. Some strange results were obtained under extreme cases, such as zero-toe or zero-heel.
2. Minimum thickness was set for footing and stem of 6" or 15 cm. which is realistic from the practical standpoint. Minimum stem height is 2 ft or 0.60 m. Minimum values for f'c and fy are 1 ksi or 7 MPa or 70 Kg/cm2.
3. Implemented the "Wall Restrained at Base Against Sliding" condition.

Update 2.1.3 - 3/17/12

1. Corrected the stem moment values when the bar cutoff is specified. The graph was correct, and now the tabulated values at the Detailed tab reflect this behavior.

Update 2.1.2 - 3/4/12

1. Modified the behavior of the Stem Thickness controls to simplify the input. Now the program internally adjusts these values so that the thickness at the top is never larger than the bottom. The last version showed a pop-up message.
2. The "Stem Is Tapererd" check box has been deleted.

Update 2.1.1 - 2/4/12

1. The program now authomatically verifies if there is an update available at startup. If so, it downloads and installs the update, otherwise it runs the program normally.

Update 2.1.0 - 1/10/12

1. The program is now DPI aware, which means that it may run in different DPI settings in your computer.

Update 2.0.7 - 12/28/11

1. Fixed the reported moment at heel. Sometimes it appeared as "NaN". The calculation, however, was correct.
2. Fixed the shear key reported shear and bending strength. It sometimes appeared "NG" instead of "OK".
3. Modified the behavior of the Backfill Height and Water Table controls to simplify the input. Now when the backfill is reduced the water table changes accordingly.
4. Fixed the reported value of the water table pressure in the Strength graph. It appeared always as zero. The calculation, however, was correct.
5. When the stem is not tappered now the top value is copied to the bottom.

Update 2.0.6 - 12/6/11

1. Modified the behavior of the Stem Height and Backfill Height controls to simplify the input. When the stem is reduced the backfill changes accordingly. When the backfill increases the stem increases accordingly.
2. The bearing pressure diagram now changes dynamically with the results.

Update 2.0.5 - 9/16/11

1. A "Rename" button has been added to the Project Manager.
2. Minor improvements in graphs..

Update 2.0.4 - 6/22/11

1. Corrected reported bearing at heel.
2. Fixed a problem with persistent controls.

Update 2.0.3 - 6/4/11

1. Added metric bars, commonly used in Europe.
2. Fixed a problem with output of bearing pressure in metric units.
3. Various minor improvements in graphics.

Update 2.0.2 - 2/7/11

1. Help file was added.
2. Fixed a problem with passive pressure calculation.
3. Various minor improvements in graphics.

Update 2.0.1 - 2/4/11

1. Some problems related to the units conversion were solved.
2. Units system is now preserved.
