Seismic Design According to EC 8 for Reinforced Concrete Members

Technical Article on the Topic Structural Analysis Using Dlubal Software

  • Knowledge Base

Product Feature

The Concrete Design add-on allows you to perform the seismic design of reinforced concrete members according to EC 8. This includes, among other things, the following functionalities:

  • Seismic design configurations
  • Differentiation of the ductility classes DCL, DCM, DCH
  • Option to transfer the behavior factor from a dynamic analysis
  • Check of the limit value for the behavior factor
  • Capacity design checks of "Strong column - weak beam"
  • Detailing and particular rules for curvature ductility factor
  • Detailing and particular rules for local ductility

RFEM 6
Hall with Arched Roof

Main Program

The structural analysis program RFEM 6 is the basis of a modular software system. The main program RFEM 6 is used to define structures, materials, and loads of planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells, and members. The program can also design combined structures as well as solid and contact elements.

RSTAB 9
Structural Frame and Truss Analysis Software

Main Program

The structural frame & truss analysis and design program RSTAB 9 contains a similar range of functions as the FEA software RFEM, paying special attention to frames and trusses. Therefore, it is very easy to use and for many years, it has been the best choice for the structural analysis of beam structures consisting of steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, and other materials.

Response Spectrum Analysis

Dynamic Analysis

In the Response Spectrum Analysis add-on, seismic analysis is performed using multi-modal response spectrum analysis. The spectra required for this can be created in compliance with the standards or can be user-defined. The equivalent static forces are generated from this. The add-on includes an extensive library of accelerograms from seismic zones. These can be used to generate response spectra.
