In the RFEM add-on Surface Concrete Design allows you to perform the fire design according to the simplified table method (EN 1992-1-2, Chapter 5.4.2 and Table 5.8 and 5.9) for walls and ceilings made of reinforced concrete.
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.
You can neglect openings with a certain area in the building model calculation. This function can be activated in the global settings of the building stories. A warning message appears saying that the openings have been neglected.
In RFEM, the oriented strand board (OSB) material is available for the USA and Canada. The material parameters are taken from the "Panel Design Specification manual".
The relevant input for the design is defined in the Seismic Configuration. Afterwards, a new Seismic Configuration can be defined by entering a descriptive configuration name, and then selecting the applicable SFRS frame type and member type.
Full integration in RFEM/RSTAB with import of relevant internal forces
Design checks for the elastic-elastic and elastic-plastic methods
Graphical selection of members and sets of members for design
Analysis for several load and design cases
Design based on the buckling field parameters integrated in the cross-section library for the cross-section parts supported on one and both sides
Optional determination of shear stresses according to comment on El. (745)
Possibility to consider the weld thickness in the design of welded cross-sections, which has the effect of a shortening of the cross-section part width
Cross-section optimization with the option to export modified cross-sections
In RFEM and RSTAB, you can visualize the flow field quantities of pressure, velocity, turbulence kinetic energy, and turbulence dissipation rate for the wind simulation.
The clipping planes are aligned with the respective wind direction.
