Concrete Stiffness Modification in RFEM 6 According to ACI 318-19 and CSA A23.3-19
In accordance with Sect. 6.6.3.1.1 and Sect. 10.14.1.2 out of the ACI 318-19 and CSA A23.3-19 respectively, RFEM effectively takes into consideration concrete member and surface stiffness reduction for various element types.
- After activating a layered FE mesh, the axis orientation is automatically reset to the default. How can I keep the defined axes after layering the FE mesh?
- How can I perform a stability/buckling analysis on a plate structure?
- I have calculated a pre-deformed structure according to the second-order analysis with RF‑STABILITY and RF‑IMP. Why are the deformations of the CO smaller than the applied pre-deformation?
- I have to dimension a wall bracket (steel brackets). I have modeled it as surface components in RFEM. The question is: Which module can be used to calculate these steel brackets?
-
Why does the load wizard "Member Load from Area Load" give unnecessary concentrated loads?
-
Although all the member design checks have been fulfilled, I get the "Not Covered Reinforcement" result. What is the reason?
- How can I modify the lamella thickness for a glulam section in RFEM 6?
