Introduction

Disclaimer
RSTAB is a software package used by over 7,000 engineers worldwide. It has been developed
by a team of highly qualified engineers and programmers. All shipped versions of RSTAB have
been extensively tested before delivered to the users. Nevertheless, ING. SOFTWARE DLUBAL does
not resume responsibility for the validity of the results obtained from RSTAB and its modules
or for the accuracy of this documentation.
The user must verify his own results.

RSTAB is meant to be a tool used in structural analysis and design. The engineer working with
RSTAB is responsible for a correct structural model and the interpretation of the results.

Introduction
The following examples were selected to provide a representation of a wide range of model
types and analysis options. Yet they are kept simple to be able to manually follow the analysis.
This manual compares theoretical analysis results with the results obtained in RSTAB. The examples were taken from available literature.

Cables
This example is analyzed according:

By Szymon PALKOWSKI
ISBN 0-387-51125-3
Geometry
Cable with 10 m in length between two horizontally fixed supports
Inelastic cable

Distributed load of 2 kN/m
The horizontal reaction in the support nodes is:

RSTAB calculates 135.10 kN.
The result can be still improved when more intermediate nodes are inserted.

Example according to MESKOURIS, K. (pp. 99 ff. and 117 ff.)
EIR = 32,000 kNm

EIS = 30,000 kNm
m1 = m2 = 30 t
m3 = 8 t
According to this example, the first three eigenmodes are analyzed. Then the response of the
frame to the following excitation is analyzed in nodes 4, 7 and 10.
10.0
P(t) = 10.0 f(t); f(t) = ( 0 sec = 0 kN ; 0.5 sec = 1 kN ; 1 sec = 0 kN )
5.0
For all modal participations a damping of 2% is chosen.
The following table compares the RSTAB-DYNAM results to those of the literature.
