RFEM 5 Add-on Modules – Reinforced Concrete Structures
For the reinforced concrete and solid construction industries, the following add-on modules are optionally available. The add-on modules for reinforced concrete structures allow for design of members and surfaces according to various international standards. Furthermore, it is possible to perform a nonlinear analysis (cracked concrete) and design of prestressed concrete structures.
RF-CONCRETE Add-on Module for RFEM 5
The RF‑CONCRETE add-on module performs the required ultimate and serviceability limit state design checks of reinforced concrete members and surfaces. Moreover, it is possible to perform the fire resistance design for rectangular and circular cross-sections.
The add-on module provides detailed design options, an integrated graphical output of the results, and a clear numerical result output. Additional features include fire resistance design and the option to optimize cross-sections.
RF-CONCRETE Columns Add-on Module for RFEM 5
The RF‑CONCRETE Columns add-on module extends the main program RFEM 5 by a powerful tool for reinforced concrete design. RF‑CONCRETE Columns allows you to perform the ultimate limit state for rectangular or circular compression elements according to the model column method or the method with nominal curvature.
The RFEM 5 add-on module allows for reinforced concrete design of members and surfaces according to various international standards, including EN and DIN. It provides extensive design options for the ultimate and serviceability limit states, including the fire resistance design and cross-section optimization. Results are presented graphically and numerically, which allows for efficient analysis and design.
RF-CONCRETE NL Add-on Module for RFEM 5
The RF‑CONCRETE NL add-on module is an extension of the module group RF‑CONCRETE and, like the main module, is organized in two parts: RF‑CONCRETE NL in RF-CONCRETE Surfaces allows for a realistic calculation of the deformations, crack widths, and stresses of reinforced concrete surfaces by considering the nonlinear material behavior when determining internal forces.
RF-CONCRETE Deflect Add-on Module for RFEM 5
The RF CONCRETE Deflect add-on module is an extension of the RF‑CONCRETE module group and allows for analytical deformation analysis of plate structures consisting of reinforced concrete.
It supports the calculation according to various standards, such as EN and DIN. The add-on module provides functions, such as the deformation analysis of cracked and uncracked surfaces, the consideration of tension stiffening and long-term effects, such as creep and shrinkage. Results are displayed graphically and numerically in RFEM 5.
RF-PUNCH Pro Add-on Module for RFEM 5
The RF‑PUNCH Pro add‑on module allows for the punching shear design of singularly or linearly supported surfaces. The add-on automatically determines the governing punching load from the specified loading. It is also possible to manually apply the point punching load on a plate.
It allows you to automatically determine the punching load from the specified loading, and provides a variety of design options according to the standards EN and A1. The add-on module also supports user-defined National Annexes and provides numerous features for managing and displaying results.
Module Extension EC2 for RFEM 5
The module extension EC2 for RFEM 5 allows for the design of reinforced concrete structures according to Eurocode 2, including the integrated National Annexes. It is compatible with other add-on modules, such as RF‑CONCRETE, CONCRETE, RF‑CONCRETE Columns, RF‑PUNCH Pro, and RF‑CONCRETE NL. The package supports the utilization of specific National Annexes with user-defined limit values and parameters, and covers a number of national standards.
