The impacts acting on the structure should not cause any significant vibrations.
The aim of this bachelor thesis is the planning and design of a single-span tied-arch bridge consisting of steel cross-sections, which can be used by pedestrians and cyclists to cross the Neckar river in Germany.

The impacts acting on the structure should not cause any significant vibrations.
The results are displayed in clearly arranged module windows. In addition to the design data, the results include all design-relevant parameters. A parts list is generated automatically during the calculation.
The complete module data are part of the RFEM/RSTAB printout report. The report contents and the extent of the results can be selected specifically for the individual designs.
When performing the design of tension, compression, bending, and shear loading, the module compares the design values of the maximum load capacity to the design values of the actions. If the components are subjected to both bending and compression, the program performs an interaction. You can determine the factors according to Method 1 (Annex A) or Method 2 (Annex B).
The flexural buckling design requires neither the slenderness nor the elastic critical buckling load of the governing buckling case. The module automatically calculates all required factors for the bending stress design value. RF-/TOWER Design determines the effective critical moment for lateral-torsional buckling for each member on every x-location of the cross-section.
Members of triangular and quadrilateral lattice towers are allocated automatically, provided that the lattice tower was generated in the RF-/TOWER Structure and RF-/TOWER Equipment add-on modules.
However, it is also possible to allocate the members manually. In RF-/TOWER Design, you can use the effective lengths of truss members generated in the RF-/TOWER Effective Lengths add-on module. Manual input is also possible.
According to the EN 1993-3-1 and EN 50341 standards, different bracing cases and support types can be specified for the leg members and bracing members.
