Determining Wind Loads for Canopy Roof Structures According to EN 1991-1-4
If a canopy roof (for example, a filling station roof) should be designed, a load determination with regard to Section 7.3 of EN 1991-1-4 is required.
Compared to the RF-/ALUMINUM add-on module (RFEM 5/RSTAB 8), the following new features have been added to the Aluminum Design add-on for RFEM 6/RSTAB 9:
- In addition to Eurocode 9, the US standard ADM 2020 is integrated
- Consideration of the stabilizing effect of purlins and sheets by rotational restraints and shear panels
- Graphical display of the results in the gross section
- Output of the used design check formulas (including a reference to the used equation from the standard)
-
The limit stress is activated, but my stress ratio is “non-designable” in the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on. What could be the reason?
- How do I define a member as a cantilever and not as supported at both ends for serviceability or deflection design?
- How do I create a user-defined Design Situation with my own chosen load combinations?
- Where can I find the materials for the corresponding National Annexes in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9?
- How do I apply wind load on members of open structures?
- I encountered a sharing violation while importing a dxf file into SHAPE‑THIN. What is the issue?
- How is the automatic creation of c/t-parts carried out?
- I want to create a mapped mesh for a circular hole plate. Is it possible to generate such a mesh in RFEM?
- Is it possible to consider the reduction of strength in the heat affected zone (HAZ) in the RF‑/ALUMINUM add-on module?
- SHAPE‑THIN calculates a very small shear area. Why?
- How do I define a member as a cantilever and not as supported at both ends for serviceability or deflection design?
