Blog | When Earth Quakes – Structural Analysis and Earthquakes

📰 Blog Post Alert: When Earth Quakes – Structural Analysis and Earthquakes 🌍🏗️

We, engineers, prefer it static. However, in well-known seismic zones, we also have to deal with the dynamics. 🌐✨ Ensuring that a construction project is safe in a seismic zone is our critical responsibility. But how exactly do earthquakes occur, and how can we minimize the damage? 🌋🛠️

In our latest blog, we dive deep into:
🔍 The mechanics of earthquakes
🔧 Techniques for structural analysis in seismic zones
🏢 Best practices for earthquake-resistant construction

Ready to enhance your knowledge and ensure safety in seismic regions? Check out this insightful episode and enjoy reading!

Knowledge Base Articles

KB 001880 | Design of Cable Structures in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9

In this article, you will learn how to model and design cable structures in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9.

KB 001879 | Influence of Bending Stiffness of Cables

This article describes and explains the influence of bending stiffness of cables on their internal forces. Furthermore, the text provides information on how this influence can be reduced.

To evaluate whether it is also necessary to consider the second-order analysis in a dynamic calculation, the sensitivity coefficient of interstory drift θ is provided in EN 1998‑1, Sections 2.2.2 and 4.4.2.2. It can be calculated and analyzed using RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9.

Reduction of Building to Cantilever Structure The individual mass points represent stories. The deflection due to the normal compression forces shown in (a) is (b) converted into equivalent moments of displacement or shear forces (KB1867)

For the ultimate limit state design, EN 1998‑1, Sections 2.2.2 and 4.4.2.2 require a calculation considering the second‑order theory (P‑Δ effect). This effect may be neglected only if the interstory drift sensitivity coefficient θ is less than 0.1.

Product Features

Feature 002840 | Graphical Add-on Result Display by Design Situation

In the Navigator – Results, you can select the design situations for which you want to display the add-on results graphically.

You can add dynamic shadows in the rendering mode. In the shortcut menu, you can use sliders to change the main light position.

Feature 002830 | Timber Materials According to American Standard ANSI/AWC NDS‑2024

The material library of RFEM and RSTAB includes the timber materials according to the American standard ANSI/AWC NDS‑2024.

Feature 002796 | Console with Python Option

In addition to JavaScript, the Python high-level functions are also available in the console. Using the Python option, the console also provides you with the Python HLF functions known from the WebService function catalog for further use in the object properties dialog box for in-app scripting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How can I change the units of result values?

How can I automatically unify two points that are close to each other?

Is it possible to define one or more nodes on one or more members automatically?

I would like to use my account for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9, but apparently I'm not authorized to do so. Is there any way to allow this?

I would like to calculate my structure according to the second-order analysis and for this, I have created several load cases, including imperfection load cases. Do I have to combine the load cases in load combinations or result combinations?

How is it possible to consider snow and wind loads with short-time actions according to NBN EN 1990?
