Reinforced concrete surface design for slabs, plates, and walls is possible in the RF-CONCRETE Surfaces module according to the ACI 318-19 or the CSA A23.3-19 standard. A common approach for slab design is the use of design strips for determining the average one-way internal forces over the width of the strip. This design strip method essentially takes a two-way slab element and applies a simpler one-way approach to determine the required reinforcement needed along the strip length.
Design loads specified in the AASHTO Bridge Design Specification are available in the RF-MOVE Surfaces moving load library. Design Truck (HS-20), Tandem, Type 3, and Overload are available options.
Pushover 分析是一种用于结构抗震分析的非线性计算方法。 Die anzusetzende Lastverteilung wird einer dynamischen Ersatzlastberechnung entnommen. Diese Lasten werden dann schrittweise bis zum Versagen der Struktur gesteigert. Das nichtlineare Verhalten der Gebäude wird üblicherweise mit Hilfe plastischer Gelenke abgebildet.
