This article deals with rectilinear elements of which the cross-section is subjected to axial compressive force. The purpose of this article is to show how very many parameters defined in the Eurocodes for concrete column calculation are considered in the RFEM 5 structural analysis software.
This article deals with the protection of reinforcement against corrosion defined according to EN 1992-1-1, also called concrete cover. The purpose of this article is to show how very many parameters defined in the Eurocodes for concrete reinforcements are considered in the RFEM structural analysis software.
This post describes two practical examples, based on the Eurocodes, where the reduction of combinations is reasonable. A large number of various National Annexes, as well as several material standards (EC 2 to EC 9), are not in compliance with the rules for structural design (EC 0).
