Serviceability Configurations

By assigning a serviceability configuration to an object, you can define the limit values to be checked for the design. The basic structure of the design configuration dialog box and the option of assigning it to the individual objects are described in the superordinate chapter Timber Design .

Important

The specifications within an serviceability configuration apply to all objects to which this configuration is assigned. If there is no serviceability configuration assigned to an object to be designed, no serviceability limit state design is performed for this object.

Serviceability Limits

Deflection limits are defined as a small part of the reference length. In this case, a distinction is made between a beam supported on both sides and a cantilever beam. Depending on the type selected in the Design Supports & Decflection tab, the corresponding limit value is checked during the design. The reference lengths can also be defined in the Design Supports & Deflection tab. Depending on the selected design standard, various design situation types are available for the serviceability limit state design checks. A separate limit value can be defined for each combination type.

Vibration Design (for EN 1993-1-1 only)

By entering the limits for vibration design, you can easily check the vibration amplitude. All design situations of the "Vibration" category are checked within the design (the selection is made in the table of Design Situations). More about the background can be found here:
