Summary
Defining and modifying the concrete geometry ensures that PROFIS Engineering uses the correct member dimensions and edge distances for accurate shear strengthening design and realistic load‑transfer behaviour.
Prerequisites
Make sure you:
- Are logged in to your PROFIS Engineering account
- Have opened the Shear strengthening module
If needed, refer to the article How to access the Shear strengthening module in PROFIS Engineering.
Step-by-step instructions
-
Open the Base material tab
In your Shear strengthening design workspace, navigate to the Base material tab on the left-hand side of the screen. -
Go to Concrete geometry
Here you can type in the length, width, and height of the concrete member. Alternatively, use the “+ / –” controls to increase or decrease the values.
