RTCDESIGN | Design of concrete cross-sections

New Features

Design with fibreglass-reinforcement manufactured by Schöck
Use of ultra-high-strength UHC C140 concrete and high-strength reinforcing steel SAS670
Consideration of the bearing capacity for earthquakes and shear joints
Limitation of the stress amplitude in the concrete - compression strut
Limitation of the stress amplitude in the composite reinforcement of the shear joint

New RTcdesign interface

RTcdesign was comprehensively redesigned, functionally extended and equipped with a completely new working environment. It offers a modern and clear design environment. The most important information is always displayed to the user. The most important innovations are:

Ribbon with the essential working functions, settings as well as Undo-/Redo- and quick access toolbar at a glance
Clear organisation of cross-sections, load cases, structural components and related sections in a structured tree view
Table-oriented input of internal forces for different loads on beams/shells, optionally with superposition - data exchange from/to Excel (cut/paste) is possible
New function for input of multiple tendon positions, prestressing methods and prestressing steel distributions with visual checking.
Clear display of element properties and design settings for ULS, SLS, FLS and fire protection in properties table
Different program configuration options: Independent language settings for input and output. User-defined arrangement of windows. Activation/Deactivation of Individual design functions
Saves user-defined program templates in a separate directory for customized design settings, languages and standards

Overview & Benefits

Overview

RTcdesign is the new design program for load-bearing capacity, serviceability and fatigue design for dimensioning concrete cross-sections. The program structure is modular and can be assembled based on the Basic Module. The Basic Module comprises the design of standardized, symmetrical and asymmetrical reinforced concrete cross-sections in the building construction.

Concrete design for building and bridge structures
Efficient input of sectional geometry
High valuable material database
Uni-axial and biaxial concrete design
Dimensioning of plates, walls, folded plates and shells
Consideration of arbitrary bending, normal and shear force as well as torsional stress states
Fire protection design for elements subject to bending and pressure
Automatic superposition for severe stress states
Complete scope of verification in ULS, SLS and FLS
Transparent and clearly arranged report

Benefits

Rtcdesign is a versatile design programme that provides the following advantages:

Cross-sectional design according to DIN 1045-1 and EN 1992 with consideration of national annexes for DE, AT, SK/CZ and UK
clearly arranged user interface and program control with graphics and sensitive chain dimensioning
approved uniaxial- or biaxial concrete design including bending, normal , shear and torsional stress
complete coverage of ultimate (ULS), serviceability (SLS) and fatigue (FLS) limit design
automatic superposition for evaluation of limit design states
provision of design templates
