Analysis of Building Structure with Masonry and Reinforced Concrete Stiffeners

The subject of this graduation thesis is the analysis of a core location and an influence of masonry elements on the stiffness of a structure. The building is based on a reinforced concrete frame structure, which consists of 20 above-the-ground storys and three underground storys.

The scope of the thesis consists of the introduction, the analysis, and the structural design. The analysis is divided into two parts and four variants of the building are included. The structural analysis software RFEM was used for the numerical analysis. The project part contains the calculation of the selected components: a flat slab, a column, and a masonry wall. The project is complemented by the corresponding drawings.

Knowledge Base Articles
Distribution of Principal Internal Force v_max, b in Floor Slab
In RF-PUNCH Pro, you can perform the punching shear design on wall corners and wall ends. The basis for the design is the punching load, which is automatically determined from the RFEM internal forces in the connected surface. Since the surface internal forces from the RFEM calculation may be subject to the influence of singularity locations, this can also have a negative influence on the determined punching load at the wall corner or end. This article describes possible optimization options that you can use to minimize this unfavorable influence.
Punching Shear Design Without Enlarged Column Head
In RF-PUNCH Pro, enlarged column heads can be arranged at point-supported punching shear points, thus increasing the shear force resistance of a reinforced concrete floor. In the following article, we will show the punching shear design with the optional application of an enlarged column head.
Input Table 1.5 Nodes of Punching Shear
RF-PUNCH Pro performs punching shear design on concentrated load application locations (column connection, nodal support, and nodal load) as well as on wall ends and wall corners.
Example of Model
With RF-PUNCH Pro, the punching shear design can be performed according to 6.4, EN 1992-1-1. In the following example, the design according to DIN EN 1992-1-1 will be presented first with automatic design of the inner and outer perimeters and then on the basis of the inner perimeters defined by the user on a simple example.

Product Features
Feature 002808 | Independent FE Mesh

Use the "Independent mesh preferred" option in the FE mesh settings to create an independent FE mesh for the integrated objects. This allows you to generate a significantly more detailed and precise FE mesh for individual objects that are integrated into one another.

Feature 002807 | 3D Display of FSM Results

In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.

Feature 002806 | Visual Objects

In RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9, you have the option to enter "Visual Objects" as guide objects. You can import the file formats 3ds, stl, and obj.

These objects allow you to create a better reference to the dimensions.

Feature 002801 | Punching Shear Design for All Section Shapes

Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?

No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I have installed Halfen HDB 13.60 on my PC. The version does not seem to be compatible with RF‑PUNCH Pro anymore. The interface does not work. I am using version 5.26.02 of RFEM.
What defines the dimensions "Length of Reinforcement" and "Width of Reinforcement" of the longitudinal reinforcement in RF‑PUNCH Pro? Is the anchorage length included?
Where in RF‑PUNCH Pro is the direction of the individual reinforcement layers displayed?
When should the punching load be determined with the (un)smoothed distribution of the shear forces at the critical perimeter?
How can I graphically display the determined load increasing factors ß from the RF‑PUNCH Pro calculation?
I would like to perform punching shear design on a column with downstand beams as a wall corner or wall end. However, the module applies an internal column. Is it possible to adjust it?
