Slope Coefficients

Slope coefficients for drained conditions for the ground failure resistance

mB=(2+B'/L')/(1+B'/L')
mL=(2+L'/B')/(1+L'/B')
m=mL⋅cos2(ω)+mB⋅sin2(ω)
iq=(1-Hd/(Vd+A'⋅cd'⋅cot(φd')))m
ic=iq-(1-iq)/(Nc⋅tan(φd'))
iγ=(1-Hd/(Vd+A'⋅cd'⋅cot(φd')))m+1)

KB 001911 | Torsional Analysis According to AISC DG 9 with 7 DOF Add-on
According to AISC Design Guide 9 Section 4.1 [1], the following torsional stresses must be considered for open cross-sections subjected to warping:
KB 001884 | AISC Chapter F Lateral Torsional Buckling Versus Eigenvalue Calculation Methods Compared in RFEM 6
Utilizing the Steel Design Add-on, steel design is possible according to the AISC 360-22 standard. The following article will compare the result output when calculating lateral torsional buckling according to Chapter F vs. an Eigenvalue Analysis.
KB 001883 | Plate Girder Design According to AISC 360-22 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.
KB 001875 | AISC 341-22 Moment Frame Member Design in RFEM 6
The three types of moment frames (Ordinary, Intermediate, Special) are available in the Steel Design add-on of RFEM 6. The seismic design result according to AISC 341-22 is categorized into two sections: member requirements and connection requirements.

Feature 002916 | Joint-Structure Interaction for Steel Joints

Want to automatically consider steel joint stiffness in your global RFEM model? Utilize the Steel Joints add-on!

Activate joint-structure interaction in the stiffness analysis of your steel joints. Hinges with springs are then automatically generated in the global model and included in subsequent calculations.

Feature 002820 | Limit Plastic Strain for Welds

In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.

Component "Base Plate"

The "Base Plate" component allows you to design base plate connections with cast-in anchors. In this case, plates, welds, anchorages, and steel-concrete interaction are analyzed.

Feature 002807 | 3D Display of FSM Results

In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
