Shearfix Software Announcement: 25/10/2024

A new version of the Shearfix Software has now been released to rectify an error in the ACI 318 calculation core that was contained in version 6.1 of the software, which was released in June 2021, and all later versions up to and including version 6.2.5.

The AS 3600 and Eurocode 2 calculation cores are not concerned.

All previous versions of the software should be uninstalled and replaced with the latest version, available below.

If you have completed designs using the ACI 318 calculation module, please contact the Leviat engineering team on 1300 304 320 or technical.au@leviat.com for further information.
