Rubner Objektbau GmbH built a modern timber residential complex in Brescia, Italy, consisting of four complexes with a total of 72 residential units. This project marks the first timber project for the Lombardian residential construction institute A.L.E.R. Dlubal Software's customer Rubner Holzbau AG from Brixen was responsible for the structural analysis.
The architectural design was created by the Milan-based architects 5+1AA S.R.L. (Genoa branch). The model is based on residential complex B in RFEM and includes innovative laminate and sandwich structures.

In RFEM 6, there is an option of a hierarchical control between the load transfer surfaces and floors in Building Model. This also allows you to create walls made of load transfer surfaces in order to consider curtain walls in the facade, for example.

In the material library of RFEM, you can find plywood materials according to the US and Canadian standards ANSI/APA PRG 510 Plywood (USA/CAN).

For the fire resistance design of timber surfaces, you can display a charring diagram depending on the time of fire exposure.
It is also possible to print this charring diagram into the printout report.

When generating shear walls and deep beams, you can assign not only surfaces and cells, but also members.
How can I determine the sufficient total simulation time for an accurate transient wind analysis in RWIND?
Do I need to add a line hinge/line release for the CLT wall-to-floor connection in the Building Model add-on?
