Steel Joints | Design According to EN 1993-1-8
Product Feature
The bolt forces are determined on the basis of the calculation on the FE model and evaluated automatically. The designs of the bolt resistance for the failure cases tension, shear, hole bearing, and punching shear are carried out according to the standard. All required coefficients are determined and clearly displayed by the program.
The stresses required for the weld design are also determined on the FE model. Then, the design is carried out with the partial safety factors according to the selected National Annex.
The plate design is performed plastically by comparing the existing plastic comparison strain with the allowable plastic strain (5 % according to EN 1993-1-5, Annex C, or user-defined specification).

Parameterizing Models in RFEM 6/RSTAB 9
RFEM and RSTAB programs provide parameterized input as an advantageous product feature to create or adjust models by means of variables. This article will show you how to define global parameters and use them in formulas to determine numerical values.
Steel Joints | Stability Analysis Software
For the joint components, it is possible to check whether the stability failure is relevant (requires the Structure Stability add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9).
In this case, the critical load factor for all analyzed load combinations and the selected number of mode shapes is calculated for the connection model. The smallest critical load factor is compared with the limit value 15 from the standard EN 1993‑1‑1, Clause 5. Furthermore, a user-defined adjustment of the limit value is possible. Moreover, the corresponding mode shapes are displayed graphically as the result of the stability analysis.
For the stability analysis, an adapted surface model is used to specifically recognize the local buckling shapes. The model of the stability analysis, including the results, can also be saved and used as a separate model file.
