The deformation analysis with RF-CONCRETE Deflect can be activated in the settings for the analytical serviceability limit state design in the RF-CONCRETE Surfaces module. Consideration of long-term effects (creep and shrinkage) and tension stiffening between cracks can also be managed in the dialog box above. The creep coefficient and shrinkage strain are calculated using the specified input parameters or defined individually.
You can specify the deformation limit value individually for each surface or for an entire surface group. The max. deformation is defined as the allowable limit value. In addition, you have to specify whether the undeformed or the deformed system is to be used for the design check.
