Shear Deformation of Member

How can the shear deformation of a member be taken into account in RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8?


Answer:

Consideration of shear stiffnesses can be set in the "Calculation Parameters" dialog box. When taking into account shear deformations, increase of deformations results due to shear forces.

The influence of the shear is dependent on the cross-section areas Ay and Az. These cross-section properties can be displayed in tables or cross-section entries and adjusted, if necessary.
