This model shows a reinforced concrete wall that was imported from ETABS to Checkbot, then reinforced and code-checked in Detail. It is designed according to Eurocode. Using the CSFM method, the wall is analyzed including the real reinforcement layout, and full ULS/SLS checks are provided, including cracks and deformations.
