Output reinforcement steel quantity

Hello,

I have designed a building in RFEM6 and now want to determine the amount of steel in the inserted reinforcement (I have already inserted the reinforcement, I would like to have the value in tons). Can RFEM provide me with this value?

Hello Vinzent :waving_hand:,
Currently, this evaluation is unfortunately not yet directly possible in RFEM 6 :slightly_smiling_face:.
In RFEM 6, the inserted reinforcements cannot currently be output as a piece or quantity list (e.g., total steel quantity in tons). The issue is known in development, and the request has already been accordingly added :+1:.

Workaround:
One possible approximation is to represent the reinforcement via a structural modification and consider it in a separate load case (Image 1).
Then you can compare the self-weight in the Z-direction:

  • Load case "Self-weight concrete without reinforcement"

  • vs. load case "Self-weight reinforced concrete"

From the difference, the additional mass (and thus approximately the steel quantity) can be derived.

The following post is dedicated to comparing models:
