Concrete Design | Deformation Analyses | Results

Have you carried out the design successfully? The results of the deformation analysis are now listed in clearly arranged output tables or detailed dialog boxes with info text. The program shows you all intermediate values in a comprehensible manner. Graphical representation of design ratios and deformation in RFEM allows you for a quick overview of critical areas.

Due to the results output of the design checks with all intermediate results, you can follow the calculation to the smallest detail. The complete integration of results in the RFEM printout report ensures that you obtain verifiable structural design.

Knowledge Base Articles

The fatigue design according to EN 1992-1-1 must be performed for the structural components subjected to large stress ranges and/or many load changes. In this case, the design checks for the concrete and the reinforcement are performed separately. There are two alternative design methods available.

In order to correctly design a downstand beam or a T-beam in RFEM 6 using the Concrete Design add-on, it is essential to determine the flange widths for the rib members. This article describes the input options for a two-span beam and the calculation of the flange dimensions according to EN 1992-1-1.

KB 001842 | Selecting Automatic Design Function in Dialog Box "Edit Surface Reinforcement"

The automatic surface reinforcement design process determines a surface reinforcement that covers the required amount of reinforcement.

KB 001838 | Design of Ribs, Folded Plate Structures, and Surfaces Using Result Members

If you want to use a pure surface model, for example, when determining the internal forces and moments, but the structural component is still designed on the member model, you can take advantage of a result beam.

Product Features

Feature 002691 | Simplified Fire Resistance Design for Columns and Beams According to EN 1992-1-2, Sections 5.3.2 and 5.6

The Concrete Design add-on provides you with the option to perform the simplified fire resistance design according to EN 1992‑1‑2 for columns (Section 5.3.2) and beams (Section 5.6).

The following design checks are available for the simplified fire resistance design:

Columns: Minimum cross-sectional dimensions for rectangular and circular sections according to Table 5.2a as well as Equation 5.7 for calculating time of fire exposure
Beams: Minimum dimensions and center distances according to Table 5.5 and Table 5.6

You can determine the internal forces for the fire resistance design according to two methods.

1 Here, the internal forces of the accidental design situation are included directly into the design.
2 The internal forces of the design at normal temperature are reduced by the factor Eta,fi (ηfi), then used in the fire resistance design.

Furthermore, it is possible to modify the axis distance according to Eq. 5.5.

Feature 002670 | Fatigue Design According to EN 1992-1-1, Chapter 6.8

With the Concrete Design add-on, you can perform the fatigue design of members and surfaces according to EN 1992‑1‑1, Chapter 6.8.

For the fatigue design, you can optionally select two methods or design levels in the design configurations:

Design Level 1: Simplified design according to 6.8.6 and 6.8.7(2): The simplified design is performed for frequent action combinations according to EN 1992‑1‑1, Chapter 6.8.6 (2), and EN 1990, Eq. (6.15b) with the traffic loads relevant in the serviceability state. A maximum stress range according to 6.8.6 is designed for the reinforcing steel. The concrete compressive stress is determined by means of the upper and lower allowable stress according to 6.8.7(2).
Design Level 2: Design of damage equivalent stress acc. to 6.8.5 and 6.8.7(1) (simplified fatigue design): The design using damage equivalent stress ranges is performed for the fatigue combination according to EN 1992‑1‑1, Chapter 6.8.3, Eq. (6.69) with the specifically defined cyclic action Q_fat.

Feature 002671 | Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Members According to EC 8

The Concrete Design add-on allows you to perform the seismic design of reinforced concrete members according to EC 8. This includes, among other things, the following functionalities:

Seismic design configurations
Differentiation of the ductility classes DCL, DCM, DCH
Option to transfer the behavior factor from a dynamic analysis
Check of the limit value for the behavior factor
Capacity design checks of "Strong column - weak beam"
Detailing and particular rules for curvature ductility factor
Detailing and particular rules for local ductility

Feature 002654 | Design of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

The Concrete Design add-on allows you to design fiber-reinforced concrete components according to the guideline "DAfStb Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete".

You can use this option for the design according to EN 1992‑1‑1. The design according to the DAfStb guideline is carried out once the concrete of the "Fiber Concrete" type has been assigned to the reinforced structural component.
