Question
When calculating deformations in RF‑CONCRETE Members, I get jumps in the deformation diagram. Why?Answer
In RF‑CONCRETE Members, the deformation in the cracked state is determined by using a coefficient "ζ" (according to EN 1992‑1‑1, 7.4.3). For this simplified method, the coefficient ζ is only determined once per member. The linear deformation is upscaled according to the governing location in the member.
In this context, it is possible to determine different coefficients ζ for the individual members. When scaling the linear deformation, jumps occur between the individual members.

To avoid this effect, it is recommended to use sets of members.
