For the construction of a new elementary school and high school building in Laupheim, Germany, the city of Laupheim organized an architectural competition, which was won by the Herrmann + Bosch Architekten studio from Stuttgart.
The German engineering office of Rohmer GmbH, a long-term customer of Dlubal Software, was in charge of the structural planning.
The reinforced concrete structure was entered as a 3D model in RFEM to take into account the spatial co‑action of the stiffening wall and floor surfaces. This way, the building's stability could be sufficiently ensured.
One of the special challenges of this project was that some of the stiffening shear walls could not be built to reach the foundation. In addition, due to the inappropriate soil, a pile foundation was required.
The reinforced concrete surfaces and members were additionally designed in the RF‑CONCRETE add‑on module.

This article draws a parallel between generating an FE mesh for separate objects using the “Independent FE mesh preferred” option, and generating the mesh without using said option.
Turbulence modeling in CFD, using URANS and DDES models, is essential for accurately simulating wind-structure interactions. URANS balances cost and unsteady flow capture, while DDES provides greater accuracy in complex flows at a higher computational cost.

The evaluation of story drift in a building is crucial to ensure acceptable structural performance by limiting the drift amount. Excessive drift has the potential to induce system instability and may cause damage to nonstructural components such as partitions. This article outlines the procedure for establishing interstory drift according to ASCE 7-22 and the Building Model add-on in RFEM 6.

The three types of moment frames (Ordinary, Intermediate, Special) are available in the Steel Design add-on of RFEM 6. The seismic design result according to AISC 341-22 is categorized into two sections: member requirements and connection requirements.

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.

Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?
No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.
