This project was designed using BIM technology. During the documentation process, IFC files were used for the data exchange. The architectural building model was first created in REVIT, then exported to RFEM to apply loads and complete the full structural analysis and design.

Structure
An additional extension, which includes lounge and restaurant areas, was added to the existing "Terma Bania" aquapark. The building was designed as a reinforced concrete monolithic slab-column structure. The underground supporting column spacing is 20 ft x 25 ft, while the aboveground spacing corresponds to the roof girder span. The building's lateral stiffness includes two stairwells and elevator shafts. The RFEM RF-CONCRETE add-on modules were used for the design of the reinforced concrete elements.
Due to the terrain conditions and the need to maintain the existing façade’s continuity, an arched roof was required. The goal of the design was also to minimize the number of supports at the ground and basement levels. Therefore, the roof structure is composed of glued laminated timber GL28h arch girders with two span lengths: 54 ft and 73 ft. The roof girders are pinned at their ends, supported by reinforced concrete beams. The RF-TIMBER Pro add-on module was used for the design of the glued laminated timber elements.
Due to the building’s display requirements, a glass façade was designed on the south side. Steel columns are used as the load-bearing elements. The roof structure in the glass façade plane is crowned with a reinforced concrete beam with two curvature vertical and horizontal radii. The reinforced concrete beam was modeled as a series of single-segment beams. The RF-Concrete Members add-on module was then used to design the series as a set of members, whereas the façade’s steel columns were designed in the RF-STEEL Members add-on module.
Because the building is composed of multiple materials (steel, reinforced concrete, glued laminated timber), performing the analysis and design in a single software was possible utilizing the RFEM program and add-on modules. Modifications to the structure as well as the loads were possible in RFEM, significantly accelerating the design process.

Modal Analysis in RFEM 6 Using a Practical Example
Modal analysis is the starting point for the dynamic analysis of structural systems. This article shows you a summary of how to perform a modal analysis in RFEM 6.

Timber Design | Strength and Stability | Input
The structural system is entered and the internal forces are calculated in the programs RFEM and RSTAB. The program provides access to the extensive material and cross-section libraries.
Timber Design is completely integrated into the main programs and automatically takes into account the structure and the available calculation results. Further entries for the timber design, such as effective lengths, cross-section reductions, or design parameters, are assigned to the objects to be designed. It is possible to select the elements graphically by using the [Select] function.

The limit stress is activated, but my stress ratio is “non-designable” in the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on. What could be the reason?
- In RFEM 6, is it possible to display a graphic with the distribution of the required reinforcement in the DIN A0 format?
- How do I define a member as a cantilever and not as supported at both ends for serviceability or deflection design?
- Where can I find the graphical results of punching shear in the concrete design? Especially the distribution of shear forces at the critical perimeter or the punching loads.
- Is it possible to display the reinforcement description in RFEM 6?
-
I would like to export nodal support forces of several load cases, load combinations and result combinations into an Excel spreadsheet in RFEM 6. How should I proceed?
- Where can find the option to hide the defined types (for example, design supports or effective lengths)?
- How do I create a user-defined Design Situation with my own chosen load combinations?
- How can I neglect torsion in the steel and timber design?
- Can I define a different bar size in the RFEM 6 Concrete Design add-on other than the default bar sizes available in the drop-down?
