When analyzing structural elements susceptible to buckling by using the modules RF‑STABILITY (for RFEM) or RSBUCK (for RSTAB), it might be necessary to activate the internal division of members.
If a member is supported laterally to prevent buckling due to a compressive axial force, it must be ensured that the lateral support is actually able to prevent buckling. Therefore, the aim of this article is to determine the ideal spring stiffness of a lateral support using the Winter model.
This technical article analyzes the effects of the connection stiffness on the determination of internal forces, as well as the design of connections using the example of a two-story, double-spanned steel frame.
With the RF-STABILITY and RSBUCK add-on modules for RFEM and RSTAB, it is possible to perform eigenvalue analyses for member structures in order to determine the effective length factors. The effective length coefficients can then be used for the stability design.
In the ultimate configuration of the steel joint design, you have the option to modify the limit plastic strain for welds.
Using the "Base Plate" component, you can design base plate connections with cast-in anchors. In addition to plates and welds, the design analyzes the anchorage and the steel-concrete interaction.
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
