Fachwerk 0.41

Fachwerk - A handy program that calculates strut-and-tie models.

A handy program that calculates strut-and-tie models.

Fachwerk is aimed at structural engineers who analyse and design reinforced concrete structures. It intends to simplify the application of discontinuous stress fields and strut-and-tie models.

This handy and accessible program can be used to calculate strut-and-tie models. It only uses equilibrium conditions. Thus, unlike common programs, it does not assume elastic material behaviour.

If the modelled system is hyperstatic, Fachwerk will nevertheless calculate the forces of the members that are determinate. One can assign forces to the remaining members. If more forces than needed to accomplish a statically determinate system are assigned to members, Fachwerk will indicate that the system is inconsistent (except equilibrium is fulfilled anyway).
