In addition to the National Annexes (NA) listed above, you can also define a specific NA, applying user‑defined limit values and parameters.
- Automatic calculation of governing loading from load cases
- Specification of additional support forces
- Determination of the reinforcement proposal for the bottom and top plate reinforcement considering the most favorable combination of mat and rebars
- Individual adjustment of reinforcement proposal
- Results of foundation reinforcement in detailed reinforcement drawings
- Results displayed in tables and graphics
- Visualization of foundation, columns, and reinforcement in 3D rendering
It is possible to perform the following designs:
- Equilibrium limit state design
- Uplift limit state design
- Ground failure (soil contact pressure) design
- Strong eccentric loads design
- Design of foundation torsion and limitation of gaping joint
- Sliding design
- Settlement calculation
- Bending failure design of the plate and bucket
- Punching shear design
Foundation and bucket dimensions can be user-defined or determined by the module. You can edit the determined reinforcement manually. In this case, the designs are updated automatically.
In the RFEM add-on Surface Concrete Design allows you to perform the fire design according to the simplified table method (EN 1992-1-2, Chapter 5.4.2 and Table 5.8 and 5.9) for walls and ceilings made of reinforced concrete.
In the Concrete Design add-on, you have the option to define an existing vertically oriented punching shear reinforcement. This is then taken into account in the punching shear design.
