Structural Analysis and Design Software for Eurocodes (EC)

Eurocodes

The Eurocodes (EC for short) are standardized rules for designing in civil engineering throughout Europe.

There are currently 10 Eurocodes (EC 0 to EC 9 in the standards EN 1990 to EN 1999). These are further subdivided. The Eurocode consists of 58 partial standards.

In addition, the standards committees of the member states create a National Annex for each Eurocode, in which the parameters to be defined nationally, such as partial safety factors, are defined.

Structure of the Eurocode:

Eurocode 0: Basics
Eurocode 1: Actions
Eurocode 2: Concrete structure
Eurocode 3: Steel structure
Eurocode 4: Composite construction
Eurocode 5: Timber structure
Eurocode 6: Masonry construction
Eurocode 7: Foundation
Eurocode 8: Earthquake
Eurocode 9: Aluminum structures

Most Suitable Software for Structural Analyses According to Eurocodes

“We decided to work with RFEM by Dlubal Software for the calculation of our three-dimensional steel structures after the analysis of different offers on the market. It is the software which seems to be the most suitable for analyses according to Eurocode standards. With its clear and intuitive interface, the data and the results can be entered visibly and editably in a smooth and efficient way which minimizes the effect of a "black box".

The technical support is remarkably patient, competent and responds quickly which confirmed our decision in favor of RFEM. The tutorials, the blog and the detailed user manuals allow a self-study and a comprehensive initial training and then a continuous learning of new functions. A further positive aspect is the modular structure which makes it possible to enlarge the offer based on the same main program without important learning phase. Even if we decide tomorrow to focus more in timber, aluminum or glass structures, the calculation will not be a blocking element for us.”

Implemented Eurocodes

Combinations According to Eurocode 0 (EC 0)

In both main programs RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9, you can generate load and result combinations according to Eurocode 0 (EN 1990). Furthermore, you can determine imperfections according to Eurocode in RFEM and RSTAB. The actions are assigned to the action types of the standard. RFEM and RSTAB then combine the load cases according to the selected design situations.

Feature 002013 | Generation of Wind Loads

Actions According to Eurocode 1 (EC 1)

RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 provides the option to generate wind and snow loads. No add-on is needed for the generation. After entering the required parameters such as wind and snow load zone, roof geometry, and so on, the program automatically generates the respective loading.
