Concrete Design

The "Concrete Design" category manages basic assignments that affect the design of members, surfaces, and nodes of punching shear. Here you can check the objects to be designed, their materials, cross-sections, and thickness, and assign the design configurations to the objects.

Info

The input data of the table also form the basis for the documentation in the printout report.

For your work within tables, you can use the functions known from RFEM that allow you to Edit Table. The specific tables of the "Concrete Design" category are explained in the following chapters.

Furthermore, the Global Settings dialog box includes general specifications for the concrete design. Diesen Dialog können Sie über die Tabellen-Schaltfläche Global Add-on Settings oder das Kontextmenü des Navigatoreintrags 'Betonbemessung' aufrufen.

Design Configurations

Detailed settings for the individual design checks are defined in Design Configurations. For each limit state, there is a separate design configuration that manages the standard-specific regulations and where you can specify limit values or various design options, for example. Only the design configurations activated in the Global Settings are available. These configurations are described separately for the standards, such as Eurocode, in the chapters for EN 1992-1-1.

Important

The design configurations are to be defined as properties of the objects to design. If no configuration is assigned to a limit state, no design checks are carried out for this limit state.

The design configurations are also organized as types. You can create different types for the individual design configurations and then assign the appropriate configurations, for example, to a member, in the "Design Configurations" tab.

Select an existing configuration from the list or create a new configuration. Use the New können Sie ebenfalls eine neue Konfiguration erstellen. You can use the Multiple Selection haben Sie die Möglichkeit, eine Konfiguration grafisch von einem anderen Objekt zu übernehmen. Use the Edit können Sie die selektierte Bemessungskonfiguration bearbeiten.

Managing Design Configurations

Im Dialog Tragfähigkeitskonfiguration bearbeiten sehen Sie in der 'Liste' alle im Modell vorhandenen Konfigurationen des Grenzzustandes. Mit der Schaltfläche New können Sie eine neue Konfiguration erstellen, die auf den Standardwerten der standard . You can use the Copy können Sie die selektierte Konfiguration kopieren, mit der Schaltfläche Delete die selektierte Konfiguration löschen.

Assigning Design Configuration

Similarly to the Types for Concrete Design, you can individually assign the configuration to the objects. There are various options for this:

For an object with no configuration assigned to a particular limit state, no design checks are carried out in this limit state. Thus, you can simply deactivate the serviceability limit state design for the individual members by not assigning the serviceability limit state configuration to these members.
