Concrete on its own is characterized by its compressive strength. An important part of reinforced concrete is reinforcing steel, which contributes to both the compressive and tension resistance of the concrete. Welded wire fabric is generally located in the tension areas of the beams or surface elements (hollow core ceiling, wall, shell) to transfer the tensile forces induced by external loading.

The coefficient θ is calculated as follows:$$\mathrm\theta\;=\;\frac{\displaystyle{\mathrm P}_\mathrm{tot}\;\cdot\;{\mathrm d}_\mathrm r}{{\mathrm V}_\mathrm{tot}\;\cdot\;\mathrm h}\;$$
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.
These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.
Mia is accessible in the programs and prevents the hassle of following up by email or phone.
Using the "Dashpot" member type, you can define a damping coefficient, a spring constant, and a mass. This member type extends the possibilities within the Time History Analysis.
With regard to viscoelasticity, the "Dashpot" member type is similar to the Kelvin-Voigt model, which consists of the damping element and an elastic spring (both connected in parallel).
