Concrete Design for RFEM 6 | Features

Concrete Design for RFEM 6 | Features

The Concrete Design add-on includes a variety of features for the design of reinforced concrete surfaces (RFEM only). We have described the selected features for you in more detail here.

The add-on for RFEM and RSTAB allows for design checks of members, member sets, and surfaces (only in RFEM). Display of a staircase with a center support and integrated upper and lower landing surfaces.

Powerful Features in Concrete Design Add-on

The Concrete Design add-on has numerous useful features that support you in structural and dynamic analysis.

Intuitive Design of Concrete Structures

Design and verify reinforced concrete structures – including deformation analysis, bending design, and cross-section stresses.

  • Graphical Display of Cross-Section Stresses

    The Concrete Design add-on allows you to display the stresses and strains of a concrete cross-section and reinforcement as either a 3D stress image or a 2D graphic. Depending on the selected results in the design details, the stresses or strains are shown in the defined longitudinal reinforcement under load actions or limit internal forces.

  • 3D My-Mz-N Interaction Diagram

    The Concrete Design add-on offers a 3D My-Mz-N interaction diagram for reinforced concrete cross-sections, helping visualize the ultimate limit state. You can easily check whether the limit resistance is exceeded and customize the diagram's appearance to suit your needs.

  • Punching Shear Reinforcement

    In the Concrete Design add-on, you have the option to define an existing vertically oriented punching shear reinforcement. They can consist of stirrups or headed studs. The punching reinforcement is then taken into account in the punching shear design.

    Go to Explanatory Video

  • Deformation Analyses

    The Concrete Design add-on provides deformation analyses for reinforced concrete surfaces, including cracked ones (state II), using methods like ACI 318-19 and EN 1992-1-1. It accounts for tension stiffening between cracks and can include creep and shrinkage. Results are displayed graphically and numerically, with full integration into the RFEM printout report.

Detailed Documentation of Performed Design Checks

Concrete design is clear and structured, with all relevant design checks displayed according to the design standard. Specific utilization criteria are required for each design check. In addition to the classic ultimate and serviceability design checks, the program also takes into account the structural requirements of the standard.

Each design check contains detailed design information that presents the input values, intermediate results, and final results in a clear way. An additional overview in the info window shows the complete calculation process, including the formulas used, standard sources, and the corresponding results.

Design of RSECTION Cross-Sections

In the Concrete Design add-on, you can design any RSECTION cross-section. You define the concrete cover, shear force, and longitudinal reinforcement directly in RSECTION.

After importing the reinforced RSECTION cross-section into RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9, you can use it for the design in the Concrete Design add-on. All necessary concrete design checks are performed.

More Information
Reinforced concrete cross-section visualization in RSECTION with details of concrete cover as well as shear and longitudinal reinforcement settings.

Definition of Member Reinforcement

You can specify the shear and longitudinal reinforcements individually for each member. In this case, there are various templates available for entering the reinforcement.

For similar rebars, you can define which reinforcement types and descriptions should be displayed, with the positions numbered consecutively. The reinforcement layout is visualized both in the section and in a 3D view, where you can easily inspect the arrangement and check the exact coordinates of each rebar relative to the centroid of the cross-section.

More Information
Graphical representation of stirrups and longitudinal reinforcement details for concrete members in a CAD environment.

Definition of Effective Slab Widths of T-beams by Segment

Within a member, you can define the integration width and effective slab width of T-beams (ribs) with different widths. The member is divided into segments. You can either grade or specify the transition between the different flange widths as linearly variable.

Furthermore, the program allows you to consider the defined surface reinforcement as a flange reinforcement for the reinforced concrete design of a rib.

More Information

What other features do you expect?

The Concrete Design add-on is constantly being developed and expanded with new features. Discover what else it can provide and take your projects to a new level!

Visualization of fiber-reinforced concrete structural analysis, showing stress distribution and fiber orientation.

Design of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

In the Concrete Design add-on, you can design structural components made of fiber-reinforced concrete according to the guideline "DAfStb Steel-Fiber-Reinforced Concrete". You can use this option for the design according to EN 1992‑1‑1. The design according to the DAfStb guideline is carried out once the concrete of the "Fiber Concrete" type has been assigned to the reinforced structural component.

Feature 002828 | Fire resistance design for slabs and walls using the simplified table method

Fire Design of Slabs and Walls According to Simplified Table Method

In the Concrete Design add-on for RFEM 6, you can perform the fire design of reinforced concrete slabs and walls according to the simplified table method.

Feature 002280 | Graphical display of the time-dependent properties of concrete; for example, creep and shrinkage, in an input dialog box.

Considering Creep and Shrinkage

Time-dependent concrete properties, such as creep and shrinkage, can be defined for the material in the structural analysis program. The input dialog box shows the distribution over time graphically, and the concrete age can be easily modified, for example, by temperature treatment.
