US Standards (AISC, ACI, AWC, ADM, ASCE 7, IBC)
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.
Implemented Standards
Implemented US Standards
Are you planning structures for the USA? Then you have come to the right place. In RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9, you can automatically generate load and result combinations according to the US standards ASCE/SEI 7, ASCE/SEI 7 (NDS), ACI 318, and IBC.
Structural FEA Software RFEM 6 Structural Frame & Truss Analysis Software RSTAB 9When working with reinforced concrete, you are supported by the Concrete Design add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9. Here, you can design reinforced concrete members, columns, and surfaces according to the American standard for reinforced concrete design ACI 318.
Concrete Design Add-on for RFEM 6The Steel Design add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 performs the strength and the serviceability limit state design of members according to the American standard ANSI/AISC 360, and the earthquake limit state according to AISC 341.
Furthermore, you can also design cold-formed steel sections according to the US standard AISI S100.
Steel Design Add-on for RFEM 6Make sure you design your aluminum structures safely and in accordance with the standards. The Aluminum Design add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 performs the strength and serviceability limit state design of members according to the US standard ADM.
Aluminum Design Add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9If you design timber structures, come this way, please. The Timber Design add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 performs the strength limit state, serviceability limit state, and fire resistance design checks according to the American standard ANSI/AWC NDS.
Timber Design Add-on for RFEM 6The safety of your structures even under turbulent conditions is easy and efficient to design using these add-ons.
The Modal Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 allows you to determine natural frequencies and mode shapes.
In the Response Spectrum Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9, the seismic analysis is performed for you using the multi-modal response spectrum analysis. Among others, the following US standards are implemented:
- IBC and ASCE/SEI 7
The Multilayer Surfaces (such as Laminate, CLT) add-on allows you to define multilayer surface structures, such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), and perform the design in the Timber Design add-on according to the American standard ANSI/AWC NDS.
Multilayer Surfaces Add-on for RFEM 6 Timber Design Add-on for RFEM 6For connections between steel and timber, you find the right solution here. In the RF-/JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber add-on module for RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8, you can design the joints indirectly connected by means of steel plates according to the American standard ANSI/AWC NDS (LRFD and ASD).
RF-JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber Add-on Module for RFEM 5Safe pipelines are available for you here. RF-PIPING Design is used for the precise design of pipelines. The module compares the existing pipe stresses with the allowable stresses according to ASME B31.1 and ASME B31.3, among other standards.
