Answer:
Yes, the load can be entered in RFEM as a surface load. In the Edit Surface Load dialog box, you can find the Generate Load Due to Shrinkage... button. This allows you to obtain the internal forces due to shrinkage.
It is not necessary to enter a load in order to consider the shrinkage in the RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces design. The RF-CONCRETE Surfaces add-on module automatically applies the loads due to shrinkage.
