Concrete Foundations Add-on for RFEM 6
The Concrete Foundation add-on for RFEM 6 allows you to design reinforced and unreinforced foundation slabs, bucket foundations and block foundations. For bucket and block foundations, you can consider smooth or rough bucket sides.
The add-on offers intuitive input, high-quality visualization, standard-compliant calculations according to Eurocode and the US standard ACI 318, as well as detailed control options. It allows you a quick and efficient design of foundations.
Add-on Concrete Foundations for RFEM 6
We present: Your all-in-one solution for seamless foundation design! The powerful Concrete Foundations add-on supports your design of both reinforced and unreinforced isolated footings, including pocket, bucket, and stepped foundations. It is fully integrated within RFEM 6. Thus, the add-on automatically transfers the internal forces determined in RFEM and updates them when changing the global model.
Engineered for efficiency, the add-on features advanced design checks for flexure, shear, sliding, overturning, and more.
Whether you're working on building construction, industrial projects, or research, streamline your workflow, save time, and achieve precise, reliable results with RFEM 6 and the Concrete Foundations add-on.
Unlock the Full Potential of Your Foundation Design!
- Design of reinforced and unreinforced isolated footings, including pocket, bucket, and stepped foundations
- Graphical display including rendering
- Geotechnical design according to Eurocode 7 and IBC (soil bearing pressure, sliding, uplift, overturning, and eccentric loads)
- Graphical results and tables of required reinforcement quantities
- Reinforced concrete design checks according to Eurocode 2 and ACI 318 (flexure, one-way shear, two-way shear, reinforcement detailing, minimum reinforcement)
- Detailed design checks in the ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state
- Output of designs with formulas -> no black box, but transparency and traceability!
Discover the powerful features of the RFEM 6 add-on, which simplify the analysis and design of foundations and ensure maximum safety and performance.
-
Foundations for Hybrid Structures
Whether a steel, concrete, timber column, and so on, the foundation can be defined under all materials. Foundations under columns made of surface components are also possible.
-
Comprehensive Standards Coverage
Ensure your designs comply with Eurocode 2 and 7 as well as the US standard ACI 318 – with detailed concrete and geotechnical designs, including punching, static equilibrium, etc.
-
Adjustable Design Settings
Customize the design parameters to meet specific project requirements, providing flexibility and greater control over the design results and checks.
-
Full Integration in RFEM 6
Seamless operation within RFEM 6 eliminates the need for third-party software, reducing errors and saving your time. The add-on automatically recognizes the dimensions of the object to be supported.
Procedure
- Creating the global structure
- Creating and assigning a new foundation to a nodal support
- Defining input data in the intuitive user interface (RFEM provides instant graphical visualization of the topology)
- Checking the desired configurations for the design (RFEM provides you with standard settings for this purpose)
- Start of the calculation
- Evaluating the results graphically, in tables, and in detail
- Printing result tables, graphics (optionally with reinforcement, multiple prints), and design formulas (with reference to equations in the standard) in the printout report
Easily determine the exact amount of reinforcement you need for your foundations.
Perform the required geotechnical design checks according to Eurocode 7 and IBC in the add-on.
Get detailed, transparent results with clear visual and numerical result display for seamless documentation.
