Comparison of Moment Resistance – Experimental vs. Steel Joints in RFEM and EC3
A bar chart compares the moment capacity in kNm for three steel joint configurations (JD1, JD2, JD3) based on experimental data, RFEM Steel Joints analysis, and EC3 design standards.
The diagram illustrates a comparison of the moment capacity for three different steel joint specimens labeled JD1, JD2, and JD3. The values contrast experimental results with calculations performed using the Steel Joints add-on in RFEM and the analytical method according to Eurocode 3 (EC3). The data show that the numerical simulation in RFEM provides results that align closely with the physical experiments across all tested configurations.
