Question
I would like to perform punching shear design on a column with downstand beams as a wall corner or wall end. However, the module applies an internal column. Is it possible to adjust it?Answer
RF-PUNCH Pro tries to automatically detect the correct geometry of the node of punching shear from the model input and to specify it correctly.
Figure 01 - Wall Corner from Downstand Beams
Depending on the entered data, it may be necessary to adjust the preset geometry. For example, because a column is recognized on a wall corner instead of punching shear design. You can change this in Window 1.5, so that the correct punching geometry can be selected, if necessary.

Often, models are needed in several projects, like the purlin with columns and knee braces in this example. The dimensions can be changed directly in RFEM or RSTAB by shifting the nodes.
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.
