Course Analysis of Cracked Concrete Slabs

This training explains the analysis of cracked reinforced concrete slabs using SOFiSTiK workflows for linear and non-linear approaches. Participants learn the theoretical background of stiffness reduction, crack modelling, and realistic structural behaviour under service loads. The content demonstrates simplified linear cracked analysis methods as well as detailed non-linear procedures for reinforced concrete slab systems. Typical modelling strategies, material definitions, solver settings, and interpretation of results are covered. The training also highlights practical engineering recommendations for evaluating deflections, stress redistribution, and reinforcement behaviour. Engineers gain the ability to select suitable analysis methods and efficiently apply cracked slab analysis in structural design projects.
