In this verification example, the capacity design values of shear forces on beams are calculated in accordance with EN 1998-1, 5.4.2.2 and 5.5.2.1 as well as the capacity design values of columns in flexure in accordance with 5.2.3.3(2). The system consists of a two span reinforced concrete beam with a span length of 5.50m. The beam is part of a frame system. The results obtained are compared with those in [1].
A member with the given boundary conditions is loaded by torsional moment and axial force. Neglecting its self-weight, determine the beam's maximum torsional deformation as well as its inner torsional moment, defined as the sum of a primary torsional moment and torsional moment caused by the normal force. Provide a comparison of those values while assuming or neglecting the influence of the normal force. The verification example is based on the example introduced by Gensichen and Lumpe.
The verification example describes wind loads in several wind directions on a model of a group of buildings. The model consists of eight cubes. The velocity fields obtained by the RWIND simulation are compared with the measured values from the experiment. The experimental data are measured using a thermistor anemometer in the wind tunnel.
The verification example describes pressure loads on the walls of buildings in tandem arrangement located at ground level. The buildings are simplified to rectangular objects and scaled down while maintaining the elevation ratios. The pressure distribution on the walls of the model of a medium-high building was conducted by an experiment. The chosen results (pressure coefficient Cp) are compared with the measured values.
The verification example describes the steady-state flow around a high-rise building in city blocks (scaled model). The example is given by the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ). The chosen results (velocity magnitude) are compared with the measured values.

A spherical balloon membrane is filled with gas with atmospheric pressure and defined volume (these values are used for FE model definition only). Determine the overpressure inside the balloon due to the given isotropic membrane prestress. The add-on module RF-FORM-FINDING is used for this purpose. Elastic deformations are neglected both in RF-FORM-FINDING and in the analytical solution; self-weight is also neglected in this example.

An I-profile cantilever is supported on the left end and loaded by torque. The aim of this example is to compare the fixed support with the fork support and to investigate the behavior of some representative quantities. Comparison is also made to the solution by means of plates. Small deformations are considered, and the self-weight is neglected. Determine the rotation in the midpoint of the cantilever, and in case of the member entity with warping, determine the values of the primary torsional moment, the secondary torsional moment, and the warping moment both on the left end (point A) and the right end (point B).
