Check of Overpressed Joint in Ridge

How can I control an overpressed joint in the ridge?

Answer:

An overpressed joint between two members can be controlled in RFEM using the member stress results. For members, this stress result is the effective stress as a color gradient across the member surface, depending on the assigned cross-section.

How can I control an overpressed joint in the ridge?

Stresses on Members

Based on the local member axis, the member stress result gives the following stress components and reference stresses with an associated color palette:

Stress
- σ_x
- τ_y
- τ_z
Elastic stress component
- σ_N
- σ_My
- σ_Mz
- σ_N+My
- σ_N+Mz
- σ_M
Elastic equivalent stresses
- σ_v,Mises
- σ_v,Tresca
- σ_v,Rankine
- σ_{v,Tresca+Rankine}
- σ_v,Bach

It is possible to visualize the stress state on the members and thus also between the members by activating the display of the members connected to the joint and displaying the σ_x stresses. If there are only negative stresses in the area between the members, the joint is overpressed.
