Option lateral buckling for RTfermo including nonlinear material
Short Overview
- design of precast girders and girders cast in situ
- option for lateral buckling analysis for reinforced & precast member beams in the cracked state
- non-linear calculation of deformations and stability analysis in the cracked state incl. tension stiffening effects
- continuous consideration of box outs and motrices for calculation, stability analysis and design of girder
- consideration of system, load and stress history
- consideration of stress redistributions from creep, shrinkage and relaxation
- extended verification , e.g. for fatigue box outs and mortices
simple and configurable result evaluation with preview option
- lateral torsional buckling in the cracked condition
Benefits of RTfermo buckling
The application makes use of the powerful FEM technology of TRIMAS® for the ultimate load calculation in the cracked state. This results in the following advantages:
- realistic system modelling for the lateral buckling analysis in the case of slender beams
- realistic evaluation of transportation and construction stages
- evaluation of stiffness degradings caused by box outs
- economic verification for highly utilised systems
