This model shows how an automatic reinforcement proposal is created in RF-CONCRETE members for RFEM or CONCRETE for RSTAB when the “Design the provided reinforcement” option is activated in Window 1.6 “Reinforcement.” It explains how the proposal can be edited later to meet specific requirements. The longitudinal reinforcement, transverse force reinforcement, shear reinforcement, stirrups, bars, and diameters are taken into account. The model supports the user in the optimal design of the reinforcement in concrete members.

Want to automatically consider steel joint stiffness in your global RFEM model? Utilize the Steel Joints add-on!
Activate joint-structure interaction in the stiffness analysis of your steel joints. Hinges with springs are then automatically generated in the global model and included in subsequent calculations.

In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.

The "Base Plate" component allows you to design base plate connections with cast-in anchors. In this case, plates, welds, anchorages, and steel-concrete interaction are analyzed.

In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
In the Steel Joints add-on, I get high utilization ratios for preloaded bolts in the tension design. Where do these high utilization ratios come from and how can I evaluate the load-bearing reserves of the bolt?
How can treating a connection as fully rigid result in an uneconomical design?
Is it possible to consider shear panels and rotational restraints in the global calculation?
