Composite Columns in Cross Section Editor

Hello Erik,

you can define such a cross section fast:

  • Use in SOFiPLUS → New Solid Section → Composite or Steel
  • Master material should be the structural steel in the first dialog ‘Section Properties’
  • Define with the command ‘Rolled Steel Shapes’ a SH standard steel profile with:
    ‘Material for Filling of hollow sections’ → input of the concrete material
    In the case of a different geometry of the steel SH profile, you can modify single geometriy values in this dialog
  • At least define the reinforcement with the dialog ‘Single Reinforcement’
    Here one layer should be available in the dialog ‘Cross Section Properties ‘tab ‘Reinforcement Layers’

Calculate the cross section → ready.
