The Concrete Design add-on for RFEM allows you to perform the fire design of reinforced concrete walls and slabs according to the simplified table method (EN 1992‑1‑2, Section 5.4.2 and Table 5.8 and 5.9).
In the Concrete Design add-on, you have the option to define an existing vertically oriented punching shear reinforcement. This is then taken into account in the punching shear design.
In the Modal Analysis add-on, you have the option to automatically increase the sought eigenvalues until reaching a defined effective modal mass factor. All translational directions activated as masses for the modal analysis are taken into account.
Thus, it is possible to easily calculate the required 90% of the effective modal mass for the response spectrum method.
In the Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on, you can use built-up cross-sections by means of what are known as phase sections. This allows you to activate and deactivate the parts of the "Parametric - Massive II" section type throughout the construction stages.
For each load case, the deformations can be displayed at the end time.
These results are also documented for you in the printout report of RFEM and RSTAB. You can select the report contents and extent specifically for the individual design checks.
You have several options available to define masses for a modal analysis. While the masses due to self-weight are considered automatically, you can consider the loads and masses directly in a load case of the modal analysis type. Do you need more options? Select whether to consider full loads as masses, load components in the global Z-direction, or only the load components in the direction of gravity.
The program offers you an additional or alternative option for importing masses: A manual definition of load combinations as of which are the masses considered in the modal analysis. Have you selected a design standard? You can then create a design situation with the Seismic Mass combination type. Thus, the program automatically calculates a mass situation for the modal analysis according to the preferred design standard. In other words: The program creates a load combination on the basis of the preset combination coefficients for the selected standard. This contains the masses used for the modal analysis.
The Timber Design add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 is multi-purpose and combines a large number of additional elements. [*S16332764*]
