Where in RF‑CONCRETE Members can I display the location of the neutral axis or the neutral axis depth of concrete for a cross-section?
Answer
After the calculation, you can switch to the result window "2.4 Required Reinforcement by x‑Location" in the RF‑CONCRETE Members (RFEM) or CONCRETE (RSTAB) add-on module.
Here, you can select a certain result row for a particular design and x-location (upper table in Window 2.4). Then, you can evaluate the intermediate results in the lower table in Window 2.4. This covers the "Neutral Axis Depth x", for example. The location of the neutral axis for the selected design location is displayed in the graphic on the right of Window 2.4 .

Furthermore, you can display the distribution of the neutral axis depth along the member length graphically in the model or in "Result Diagrams on Member."

Material Model Orthotropic Masonry 2D
The material model Orthotropic Masonry 2D is an elastoplastic model that additionally allows softening of the material, which can be different in the local x- and y-direction of a surface. The material model is suitable for (unreinforced) masonry walls with in-plane loads.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Why can I no longer display the intermediate results in RF‑CONCRETE Members?
- Can I use RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces to determine the steel mass for the inserted reinforcement?
- When opening an RFEM file, the entries in RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces are lost. Is it possible?
- Where can I activate the reduction of shear forces or moments on a support in RF‑CONCRETE Members?
- I have activated the minimum longitudinal reinforcement in RF‑CONCRETE Members. Will this be displayed in the graphical display of the required reinforcement at the top or bottom?
- In RF-CONCRETE Members, I get an error message saying that the steel cross-section is not designable. What is the reason for this message?
- How to calculate the static depth d when designing the bending of block foundations (calculation as an equivalent beam)?
- I have defined temperature loads, strain loads, or a precamber. As soon as I modify stiffnesses, the deformations are no longer plausible.
- Can the properties, such as B. the cross -section or the surface thickness as well as the material of a surface of an existing element for a new element?
- When should the punching load be determined with the (un)smoothed distribution of the shear forces at the critical perimeter?
