For almost a year I have been trying to develop a type of intervention for the seismic improvement of simple reinforced concrete buildings built in the '60s/'70s, with the addition of bracing and dissipative elements.
I tried to design these elements with the RFEM trial version and was thrilled by the simplicity and the calculation's completeness. According to what I have found, it is possible to use RFEM to create very complex structures while maintaining excellent reliability due to a very strict and transparent inner structure.
