Knowledge Base Articles
Strength Development fct, eff - Factor βcc
When determining the minimum reinforcement for the serviceability limit state according to 7.3.2, the applied effective tensile strength fct,eff has a significant influence on the determined amount of reinforcement. The following article gives an overview about determining the effective tensile strength fct,eff and the input options in RF-CONCRETE.
Settings for Layout of Longitudinal Reinforcement
The RF-CONCRETE Members and CONCRETE add-on modules provide the option for "Dimensioning of Longitudinal Reinforcement for Serviceability Limit State". You can select the design criteria for the calculation of the longitudinal reinforcement.
System and Loading
When designing reinforced concrete components according to EN 1992‑1‑1 [1], nonlinear methods of determining internal forces for the ultimate and serviceability limit states are possible. In this case, the internal forces and deformations are determined with respect to their nonlinear behaviour. The analysis of stresses and strains in cracked state usually provides the deflections, which clearly exceed the linearly determined values.
Design Level 1 - Ultimate Configuration
The fatigue design according to EN 1992-1-1 must be performed for the structural components subjected to large stress ranges and/or many load changes. In this case, the design checks for the concrete and the reinforcement are performed separately. There are two alternative design methods available.

Material Properties for Nonlinear Calculation

RF-CONCRETE Surfaces

The nonlinear calculation is activated by selecting the design method of the serviceability limit state. You can individually select the analyses to be performed as well as the stress-strain diagrams for concrete and reinforcing steel. The iteration process can be influenced by these control parameters: convergence accuracy, maximum number of iterations, arrangement of layers over cross-section depth, and damping factor.

You can set the limit values in the serviceability limit state individually for each surface or surface group. Allowable limit values are defined by the maximum deformation, the maximum stresses, or the maximum crack widths. The definition of the maximum deformation requires additional specification as to whether the non-deformed or the deformed system should be used for the design.

RF-CONCRETE Members

The nonlinear calculation can be applied to the ultimate and the serviceability limit state designs. In addition, you can specify the concrete tensile strength or the tension stiffening between the cracks. The iteration process can be influenced by these control parameters: convergence accuracy, maximum number of iterations, and damping factor.

Detail Settings

The deformation analysis according to the approximation method defined in standards (for example, deformation analysis according to EN 1992‑1‑1, 7.4.3) applies to the calculation of "effective stiffnesses" in the finite elements in accordance with the existing limit state of the concrete with or without cracks. These stiffnesses are used to determine the surface deformation by repeated FEM calculation.

The effective stiffness calculation of finite elements takes into account a reinforced concrete cross-section. Based on the internal forces determined for the serviceability limit state in RFEM, the program classifies the reinforced concrete cross-section as 'cracked' or 'uncracked'. If the tension stiffening at a section should be considered as well, a distribution coefficient (according to EN 1992-1-1, Eq. 7.19, for example) is used. The material behavior for the concrete is assumed to be linear-elastic in the compression and tension zone until the concrete tensile strength is reached. This is reached exactly in the serviceability limit state.

When determining the effective stiffnesses, creep and shrinkage are taken into account at the "cross-section level". The influence of shrinkage and creep in statically indeterminate systems is not taken into account in this approximation method (for example, tensile forces from shrinkage strain in systems restrained on all sides are not determined and must be considered separately). In summary, RF-CONCRETE Deflect calculates deformations in two steps:

  1. Calculation of effective stiffnesses of the reinforced concrete cross-section assuming linear-elastic conditions
  2. Calculation of the deformation using the effective stiffnesses with FEM
Feature 002801 | Punching Shear Design for All Section Shapes

Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?

No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.

Feature 002722 | Sensitivity Coefficient

For a response spectrum analysis of building models, you can display the sensitivity coefficients for the horizontal directions by story.

These key figures allow you to interpret the sensitivity to stability effects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the required reinforcement in the Results navigator correspond to the design of the ultimate or the serviceability limit state, or both?
Why is it not possible to select "ULS", "SLS", or "ULS/SLS" for the "required reinforcement"? I can no longer find the selection for this.
In the RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces add-on module, I get a design failure for the serviceability limit state (SLS) and no values are displayed for the steel stresses. Also, Message 239) is displayed. Why?
Which products do you recommend for the structural analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures?
In the table of the objects to be designed in the Concrete Design add-on, punching nodes are listed in the not valid/deactivated column, although I have defined them as punching nodes. How can I fix this?
How can I generate an area load on members via cells in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9?
