Hello everyone,

I will be using the trial version of RSA to design my first project so as to test and experiment the software and decide if i will buy the Autodesk Building Design Suite.

Project Details

The structure is a 5-storey RC frame and needs to be designed according to EC2 and EC8. There is an underground car park, with shops on 1st and 2nd storey, and apartments on 3rd and 4th storey.


The structure will be composed of

1. RC Raft foundation,
2. RC Retaining wall connected with the foundation slab
3. RC columns,
4. RC Shear walls,
5. RC beams and slabs poured at the same time.
6. RC Stairs

So my first question before i start my learning curve, is RSA capable of designing all the components listed above according to the required codes?
