Design of Deep Beams in RFEM 6
According to EN 1992-1-1 [1], a beam is a member of which the span is no less than 3 times the overall section depth. Otherwise, the structural element should be considered as a deep beam. The behavior of deep beams (i.e., beams with a span less than 3 times the section depth) is different from the behavior of normal beams (i.e., beams with a span that is 3 times greater than the section depth). However, designing deep beams is often necessary when analyzing the structural components of reinforced concrete structures, since they are used for window and door lintels, upstand and downstand beams, the connection between split-level slabs, and frame systems.

In RFEM 6, is it possible to display a graphic with the distribution of the required reinforcement in the DIN A0 format?
- I would like to perform punching design of a floor slab. I have selected nodes for the design, but they are marked as invalid. Where did I make a mistake?
- Although all the designs for a member have been complied with, I get an "Uncovered reinforcement". How is this possible?
- The limit stress is activated, but my stress ratio is “non-designable” in the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on. What could be the reason?
- How do I define a member as a cantilever and not as supported at both ends for serviceability or deflection design?
