Considering Structure Interaction with a Metal Building https://buff.ly/tHBkXcZ

Computer-aided calculation of structural systems allows for taking into account various interaction phenomena in a building. This article highlights the influence of the joint-structure interaction and soil-structure interaction on the design of a metal building.

Due to the interconnection of add-ons, RFEM 6 allows for the consideration of some interaction phenomena that are often only modeled by simplifying assumptions. The basis and reference is a small

Modeling and Optimization of Earth Tank Support Structure https://buff.ly/qJrOM1q

This technical article addresses the simulation of a double-chamber container that is completely embedded in the ground. The container consists of glass fiber reinforced plastic, an access shaft, and additional reinforcements made of stainless steel. The storage is constant in some areas and nonlinear (failure under tension). The loads from filling, surrounding soil, and buoyancy are discussed. Furthermore, the optimization of the structural components is demonstrated.

Analysis of the supporting structure of a 3 m earth tank with earth pressure, hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy, and soil-structure interaction.

Reconstruction of Existing Industrial Facilities into Logistics Center, Ukraine https://buff.ly/BNkwRWT

The 920 m² site area and the utility room in a neighboring building with 62.6 m² as well as a crane beam were reconstructed. For this purpose, new vertical walls were erected as truss constructions.

Additionally, the concrete structure of the roof was redesigned. The reason was an increase in the snow load from 0.5 kN/m² to 1.37 kN/m² and preparation for future solar modules.

The design of this project was carried out with RFEM 6. The add-on Prestress in combination with the add-ons Construction Stages Analysis (CSA), Stress-Strain Analysis, Concrete Design, and Steel Design was used to calculate the interaction of the existing prestressed concrete slabs, trusses, and new composite beams.
