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.
Plate girder is an economical choice for long spans construction. I-section steel plate girder typically has a deep web to maximize its shear capacity and flange separation, yet thin web to minimize the self-weight. Due to its large height-to-thickness (h/tw) ratio, transverse stiffeners may be required to stiffen the slender web.
Understanding steel connection rigidity is crucial in structural design. Often, connections are treated as strictly pinned or rigid, but this can lead to uneconomical or even dangerous designs. Explore how Dlubal Software's RFEM and Steel Joints add-on help verify connection stiffness and moment resistance, ensuring safer and more economical designs.
In the "Import Support Reaction" load wizard, the "Free Loads" object connection type is available in addition to the "Manual" ones. This option saves you the task of manually assigning the support reactions to specific nodes and lines. The support forces of the connected model are applied as free loads in this option.
You can use the "spline with minimum curvature" surface geometry type to generate curved surfaces on the basis of the control nodes in the middle of the surface.
This can be used to model terrain surfaces, for example.
Numerous component types, such as base and end plates, web angles, fin plates, gusset plates, stiffeners, tapers, or ribs for easy input of typical connection situations
Universally applicable basic components (such as plates, welds, bolts, auxiliary planes) for modeling complex connection situations
Graphical display of the connection geometry with dynamic updating during the input
Wide range of cross-section shapes: I-sections, U-sections, angles, T-sections, hollow sections, built-up cross-sections and thin-walled sections
Library in Dlubal Center with program template connections as well as user-defined templates
Automatic adaptation of the connection geometry based on the relative arrangement of the components to each other – even in case of subsequent editing of the structural components
