Modell eines Stahlbetonbalkens, der durch Kriechen und Schwinden beeinflusst wird
This technical article addresses the direct deformation analysis of reinforced concrete beams considering the long-term effects of creep and shrinkage. The direct calculation according to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1, Section 7.4.3) is explained using a single-span beam. Particular emphasis is placed on tension stiffening, behavior in the cracked state based on the distribution factor (damage parameter), and consideration of shrinkage and creep behavior.

Product Features
Snow Load Wizard with options for snow overhang and snow guard according to Eurocode.

In the Snow Load Wizard, you can optionally consider snow overhang and snow guard when generating snow loads according to Eurocode.

Die Bauzustandsanalyse ermöglicht die Anpassung von Eigenschaften wie Stäben und Flächen in verschiedenen Bauphasen.

The Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on allows you to modify the object and design properties of members, surfaces, and so on, in the individual construction stages.

Display of model deformations in the analysis progress window of the program.

During the calculation, you can display the model deformation for the calculation steps graphically in the calculation progress window.

Simulation of wind loads on structures with optional member coating.

In the wind simulation, it is possible to consider member coatings (for example, from ice loads).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How can I find out which graphics card is actually used by RFEM 6?

I'm experiencing problems with the graphics card. What can I do?

Can I use the Dlubal API in Rhino and Grasshopper?

In the Steel Joints add-on, I get high utilization ratios for preloaded bolts in the tension design. Where do these high utilization ratios come from and how can I evaluate the load-bearing reserves of the bolt?

Can I optimize parametric cross-sections?

How can I define RSECTION cross-sections in Grasshopper?
