A reinforced concrete beam is designed as a two-span beam with a cantilever. The cross-section varies along the length of the cantilever (tapered cross-section). The internal forces, the required longitudinal and shear reinforcement for the ultimate limit state are calculated.
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.
Consider an ASTM A992 W 18x50 beam forspan and uniform dead and live loads as shown in Figure 1. The member is limited to a maximum nominal depth of 18 inches. The live load deflection is limited to L/360. The beam is simply supported and continuously braced. Verify the available flexural strength of the selected beam, based on LRFD and ASD.
The goal of this verification example is to analyze the fluid flow around the glider. The task is to determine the drag coefficient and the lift coefficient with respect to the angle of attack. These coefficients can also be drawn into the graph of the drag polar. The limit angle for laminar fluid flow around the wing profile can also be determined from the velocity field. The available 3D CAD model (STL file) is used in RWIND 2.
A cylinder made of elasto-plastic soil is subjected to triaxial test conditions. Neglecting the self-weight, the goal is to determine the limit vertical stress for shear stress failure. An initial hydrostatic stress of 100 kPa is considered.
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.

A symmetrical shallow structure is made of eight equal truss members, which are embedded into hinge supports. The structure is loaded by a concentrated force and alternatively by imposed nodal deformation over the critical limit point when the snap-through occurs. Imposed nodal deformation is used in RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8 to obtain the full equilibrium path of the snap-through. The self-weight is neglected in this example. Determine the relationship between the actual loading force and the deflection, considering large deformation analysis. Evaluate the load factor at the given deflections.
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.

Consider a rigid scaffolding tube, fixed at the bottom using the Scaffolding Nodal Support and loaded by both a moment and a force. Calculate the maximum radial deflection by exceeding the capacity of the scaffolding support.
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).
