3 Calculation and Reinforcement of Deep Beams with RFEM 6
Read More
This article presents the design of a single-span deep beam. The aim is to determine the required reinforcement, taking into account the loads, material properties, and geometry. To do this, the input data, such as geometry, loads, and material properties, are specified first. The calculation is then carried out using approximation methods and plate theory according to DAfStb booklet 631, before the model is analyzed in RFEM 6 and the reinforcement is checked both linearly-elastically and nonlinearly.
4 Nonlinear Deformation Analysis of Two-Span Beam Considering Creep
Read More
This article describes a nonlinear deformation analysis of a two-span reinforced concrete beam, taking into account creep and cracking. Using an FE model with nonlinear concrete material, the close-to-reality deflections, stress distributions, and the effect of tension stiffening are determined. In comparison, the Concrete Design add-on shows the differences between the analytical equivalent stiffness approach and a detailed FE analysis. The article explains the consideration of short-term and permanent loads as well as the effects on the characteristic design situation.
