Impact Study of Single and Double Sheet Pile

As part of his final internship at STRABAG AG, Martin Gasser utilized the RFEM 6 software to model sheet piles, with the objective of comparing the impact of single and double sheet piles.

Author	M. Gasser
University	ESITC Metz, France

Ce travail de fin d'études que j’ai mené a apporté des avantages significatifs à Strabag et à moi. Thanks to a rigorous scientific methodology combining the significant advantages of the simple sheet piles, the results in the field, the design using the software, and the 3D modeling, it was possible to verify numerous results via intermediate summary.

Puis avec une synthèse globale, il a été possible de démontrer que les palplanches simples offrent un comportement similaire aux palplanches doubles après la mise en place de la lierne lors de travaux de soutènement de grande hauteur.

Les outils logiciels DC-Ecran et RFEM 6 m’ont initialement posé des difficultés, car ils étaient nouveaux pour moi.

Cependant, avec persévérance, j'ai réussi à maîtriser ces outils et à les utiliser efficacement pour la modélisation.

Knowledge Base Articles

Using an example of a steel fiber-reinforced concrete slab, this article describes how the use of different integration methods and of a different number of integration points affects the calculation result.

In order to correctly design a downstand beam or a T-beam in RFEM 6 using the Concrete Design add-on, it is essential to determine the flange widths for the rib members. This article describes the input options for a two-span beam and the calculation of the flange dimensions according to EN 1992-1-1.

KB 001825 | WebService & API for Analysis of Construction Stages

When calculating regular structures, data input is often not complicated but time-consuming. Input automation can save valuable time. The task described in the present article is to consider the stories of a house as single construction stages. Data is entered using a C# program so that the user does not have to enter the elements of the individual floors manually.

KB 001838 | Design of Ribs, Folded Plate Structures, and Surfaces Using Result Members

If you want to use a pure surface model, for example, when determining the internal forces and moments, but the structural component is still designed on the member model, you can take advantage of a result beam.

Product Features

Feature 002670 | Fatigue Design According to EN 1992-1-1, Chapter 6.8

With the Concrete Design add-on, you can perform the fatigue design of members and surfaces according to EN 1992‑1‑1, Chapter 6.8.

For the fatigue design, you can optionally select two methods or design levels in the design configurations:

Design Level 1: Simplified design according to 6.8.6 and 6.8.7(2): The simplified design is performed for frequent action combinations according to EN 1992‑1‑1, Chapter 6.8.6 (2), and EN 1990, Eq. (6.15b) with the traffic loads relevant in the serviceability state. A maximum stress range according to 6.8.6 is designed for the reinforcing steel. The concrete compressive stress is determined by means of the upper and lower allowable stress according to 6.8.7(2).
Design Level 2: Design of damage equivalent stress acc. to 6.8.5 and 6.8.7(1) (simplified fatigue design): The design using damage equivalent stress ranges is performed for the fatigue combination according to EN 1992‑1‑1, Chapter 6.8.3, Eq. (6.69) with the specifically defined cyclic action Q_fat.

Feature 002671 | Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Members According to EC 8

The Concrete Design add-on allows you to perform the seismic design of reinforced concrete members according to EC 8. This includes, among other things, the following functionalities:

Seismic design configurations
Differentiation of the ductility classes DCL, DCM, DCH
Option to transfer the behavior factor from a dynamic analysis
Check of the limit value for the behavior factor
Capacity design checks of "Strong column - weak beam"
Detailing and particular rules for curvature ductility factor
Detailing and particular rules for local ductility

Feature 002654 | Design of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

In the Concrete Design add-on, you can design structural components made of fiber-reinforced concrete according to the guideline DAfStb Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete.

You can use this option for the design according to EN 1992‑1‑1. The design according to the DAfStb guideline is carried out once the concrete of the "Fiber Concrete" type has been assigned to the reinforced structural component.

Feature 002652 | "Crosstie" Reinforcement Option for Design According to EN 1992-1-1

In the "Shear Reinforcement" tab, you can select the option "Cross-ties over free rebars with active selection in graphic". It allows you to arrange additional cross-ties on free rebars of the longitudinal reinforcement.

You can activate or deactivate the position of the cross-ties in the Info Graphic. The cross-ties are applied for the ultimate limit state design and the structural design checks. They are available for the design according to EN 1992‑1‑1.
