An axially loaded steel beam with a square cross-section is pinned at one end and spring supported at the other. Two cases with different spring stiffness are considered. Neglecting its self-weight, determine the critical load scaling factors by the linear stability analysis.

You can download this structural model to use it for training purposes or for your projects. However, we do not assume any guarantee or liability for the accuracy or completeness of the model.
In RFEM, the oriented strand board (OSB) material is available for the USA and Canada. The material parameters are taken from the "Panel Design Specification manual".
The "Bracing in Cells" function allows you to generate diagonal bracing with just a few clicks. You can find this feature under Tools → Generate Model – Members → Bracing in Cells.
In RFEM and RSTAB, you can visualize the flow field quantities of pressure, velocity, turbulence kinetic energy, and turbulence dissipation rate for the wind simulation.
The clipping planes are aligned with the respective wind direction.
In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.
