South African Standards (SANS)
Standards and codes are important. Where do you plan your project and what do you have to pay attention to? When it comes to international standards, the Dlubal programs are reliable companions for customers from all over the world. You will find numerous standards integrated in RFEM and RSTAB, whereby the corresponding add-ons allow you to design steel, reinforced concrete, and timber structures. Here you will find an overview of the standards available in the programs for the respective countries.

Timber Design According to SANS 10163-1 and SANS 10163-2
The RF‑/TIMBER SANS add-on module for RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8 allows you to perform the ultimate and serviceability limit state design as well as fire resistance design of members according to the South African standards for timber structures SANS 10163‑1 and SANS 10163‑2.
RF-TIMBER SANS Add-on Module for RFEM 5
Seismic Design According to SANS 10160-4
The RF‑/DYNAM Pro - Natural Vibrations add-on module for RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8 determines natural frequencies and mode shapes.
The RF-/DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads module extension for RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8 generates equivalent seismic loads according to the multimodal response spectrum analysis. Among others, the South African standard SANS 10160‑4 is implemented.
