Knowledge Base Articles
Importing/Exporting Foundation Templates
Foundations including dimensions can be saved as a template in a user-defined database.
Database of Foundation Templates
In RFEM 5 as well as RSTAB 8 in RF-/FOUNDATION Pro, you can save the foundation dimensions for all five foundation types as foundation templates in a user-defined database and use them later in other models.
Separate Load Entry for Structure or Foundation Design
In RF-/FOUNDATION Pro, the foundation design requires the definition of the corresponding loading (load cases, load combinations, or result combinations) for different design situations (STR, GEO, UPL, or EQU).
Adjusting Reinforcement Drawings
In RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro, reinforcement drawings are displayed after designing the foundation, where you can record all necessary structures of the reinforcement steel.

Product Features
Feature 002828 | Fire Design of Slabs and Walls According to Simplified Table Method

In the Concrete Design add-on for RFEM 6, you can perform the fire design of reinforced concrete slabs and walls according to the simplified table method (EN 1992‑1‑2, Section 5.4.2 and Tables 5.8 and 5.9).

Feature 002826 | Punching Shear Reinforcement

In the Concrete Design add-on, you have the option to define an existing vertically oriented punching shear reinforcement. This is then taken into account in the punching shear design.

Feature 002801 | Punching Shear Design for All Section Shapes

Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?

No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.

Feature 002691 | Simplified Fire Resistance Design for Columns and Beams According to EN 1992-1-2, Sections 5.3.2 and 5.6

In the Concrete Design add-on, you can perform the simplified fire resistance design according to Sections 5.3.2 and 5.6 of EN 1992‑1‑2 for columns and beams.

The following design checks are available for the simplified fire resistance design:

  • Columns: Minimum cross-sectional dimensions for rectangular and circular sections according to Table 5.2a as well as Equation 5.7 for calculating time of fire exposure
  • Beams: Minimum dimensions and center distances according to Tables 5.5 and 5.6

You can determine the internal forces for the fire resistance design according to two methods.

  • 1 Here, the internal forces of the accidental design situation are included directly into the design.
  • 2 The internal forces of the design at normal temperature are reduced by the factor Eta,fi (ηfi), then used in the fire resistance design.

Furthermore, it is possible to modify the axis distance according to Eq. 5.5.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the program check the lap length of the vertical stirrups of a block foundation with smooth bucket sides?
How is the static depth d calculated in the bending design of block foundations (calculation as equivalent beams)?
Is it also possible to perform crack width analysis according to EN 1992‑1‑1, Section 7.3, in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro?
Where on the foundation is the load applied in the design with FOUNDATION Pro?
How can I enter the earth covering of a bucket foundation up to 10 cm below the top edge of the bucket in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro?
Which principles are used for the design of the lap length performed in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro? And can I deactivate this design?
