We would like to ask a PMM non-linear spring for modeling Plastic Hinges for reinforced-concrete Columns. This PMM springs are used for modeling the Moment-Rotation (M-R) behavior for different axial loads (P). The PMM spring should be able to cap...
Con sider adding fiber-mesh tools for cross section analysis to RMBRIDGE. This allow the use of different materials in the cross section. This is important in seismic analysis for the definition of the Moment-Curvature properties. This feature is ...
Include ability to model curtain wall under end bent
Please include ability to model curtain wall under end bent, similar to backwall. This curtain wall is a great tool when working on projects when new fill required to place is not significant enough to just an independent retaining wall but is sig...
RM Bridge update to use the correct AASHTO reduction factor for reinforced/prestressed concrete based on tensile strain in reinforcing at ultimate limit state.
The current RM bridge ultimate capacity calculations allow for material reduction factors only, which are not used by AASHTO for reinforced and prestressed concrete. AASHTO concrete reduction factors for flexure and P-M capacities are based on the...
The implementation of FEM shell elements as a supplement to the beams in RM Bridge Enterprise, is a useful tool. Sometimes it will be useful to model the shell elements with different properties in the longitudinal direction compared to the transv...
I would like to start using RM Bridge with shell elements for transverse analysis, however, I have just found out that currently it does not provide envelope results for shell forces, this is an essential tool for live load transverse analysis.
