Question:
When using the RF‑/CONCRETE Columns add-on module, do I have to define the imperfections of a column as a load case in RFEM/RSTAB?
Answer:
RF-/CONCRETE Columns designs columns with the nominal curvature method, which takes into account the unwanted eccentricity. Therefore, it is not necessary to define an imperfection load case in RFEM/RSTAB.
