Question
Why are there no concrete stresses displayed in the RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces add-on module?Answer
If you want to display the concrete stress or the corresponding design, select the corresponding point in "Settings for Analytical Method of Serviceability Limit State Design" (see Figure 01).Keywords

For relatively large or relatively small surfaces, it can happen that the automatically created result values do not fit the model: In case of large surfaces, there can be too much result values, in case of small surfaces, too few.Screenshots

Material Model Orthotropic Masonry 2D
The material model Orthotropic Masonry 2D is an elastoplastic model that additionally allows softening of the material, which can be different in the local x- and y-direction of a surface. The material model is suitable for (unreinforced) masonry walls with in-plane loads.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Why do I get such a small amount of reinforcement for the upstand beam? The amount of reinforcement for the downstand beams is significantly larger.
- How are the creep and shrinkage for columns considered in RF‑CONCRETE Members?
- In connection with the analytical SLS calculation, I get implausibly large values for the crack width and deformation in the RF‑CONCRETE add-on modules. What is the cause and how can I fix the problem?
- Is it possible to export the results from RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces to Excel? For example, I would need the steel stress of serviceability design.
- Is it possible to adjust the initial values of the temperature courses entered for the fire resistance design? For example, I would like to adjust the initial value of the moisture content.
- Why are there no concrete stresses displayed in the RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces add-on module?
- Is it possible in RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces to model a prefabricated slab or an element slab with different reinforcement layouts, for example, a reinforcement layer in a precast element and another reinforcement layer in the cast-in-place concrete extension?
- How do you perform the fatigue design for reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete? I have found a result combination of the type fatigue, but cannot find the design in the add-on modules.
- How are the signs to be interpreted for the release results of the line release and line hinges?
- How can I create a curved or curved section?
