REINFORCE-FIX
REINFORCE-FIX

REINFORCE-FIX Online is the new software module for structural strengthening in the FiXperience Online Suite. The module offers solutions for the design of rectangular reinforced concrete beams according to ACI PRC-440.2-23 with CFRP Laminates and CF Fabrics. Flexural and shear strengthening are possible, also in combination. A unique adaptable 3D model shows the application of the strengthening materials.

Advantages:

  • Interactive utilization bar for the different verifications
  • Technical documentation with transparent calculation steps, including dynamic stress-strain diagrams for ULS and SLS verifications
  • Use of any number of reinforcing bars of any cross-sections in the RC cross-section
  • Iterative, precise determination of the neutral axis of the cross-sections
  • Realistic estimate of materials and quantities 
  • Continuous development to include more guidelines & standards

Flexural and shear strengthening


Flexural strengthening


The ability of choosing the type of strengthening depending on the structural needs offers a wide flexibility in design and a relative close visualization to the strengthening in reality. Flexural strengthening can be made with fischer FRS-L CFRP Laminates, shear strengthening can be made with CF Fabrics.

Technical documentation available

REINFORCE-FIX allows to download the complete technical documentation for your project:
