Forum Gold and Silver in Schwäbisch Gmünd (© Klöckner GmbH)
  • Description
  • Reviews (0)

The model documents the facade structure of a building in Schwäbisch Gmünd, constructed for the State Garden Show 2014 as a presentation area for gold, silver, and design. In the competition, the design team isin Architekten was awarded the contract, while the engineering firm Klöckner GmbH from Nistertal carried out the calculations using RSTAB and RFEM. Wind load analyses were carried out on the basis of wind tunnel tests by I.F.I. GmbH from Aachen. The 3D model illustrates modern solutions in steel structures as well as aluminum and lightweight structures. It is an innovative concept that underlines the identity of Schwäbisch Gmünd as a gold and silver city.

Visualization of the shear flow result diagram and acting forces on a timber panel wall
In this article, the design of a timber panel wall with the beam panel thickness type is performed.
Illustration of equivalent lateral force method for seismic analysis in structural engineering
This article provides a comprehensive overview of essential seismic analysis methods, explaining their principles and applications, as well as the scenarios in which they are most effective
Fire design according to Chapter 16 of the NDS [1] for wood members and surfaces is available in the Timber Design add-on. This article shows how the charring of wood and reduced cross-sectional dimensions can be accounted for in the fire design with an example from AWC Technical Report No. 10 [2].
KB 001825 | WebService & API for Analysis of Construction Stages
When calculating regular structures, data input is often not complicated, but it is time-consuming. Save your valuable time with input automation. The task described in the present article is to consider the stories of a house as single construction stages. Data are entered using a C# program so that the user does not have to enter the elements of the individual floors manually.

Product Features
Feature 002901 | Plywood Materials According to ANSI/APA PRG 510 Plywood Standard (USA/CAN) in RFEM Material Library

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).

Feature 002870 | Charring Diagram

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.

Feature 002824 | OSB Material for USA and Canada

In RFEM, the oriented strand board (OSB) material is available for the USA and Canada. The material parameters are taken from the "Panel Design Specification manual".

Feature 002792 | Visualization of a timber panel element, modeled with the Beam Panel thickness type for structured 3D models.

Using the "Beam Panel" thickness type, you can model timber panel elements in 3D space. Simply specify the surface geometry and the timber panel elements are automatically generated using an internal member-surface construct, including the element connection stiffness. The Beam Panel thickness type is defined using the Multilayer Surfaces add-on.

A "beam panel" provides you with the following advantages:

  • Single-sided or double-sided sheathing
  • Automatic calculation of a semi-rigid coupling between studs and sheathing
    • Nailed sheathing connection
    • Stapled sheathing connection
    • User-defined sheathing connection
  • Representation as a complete geometric 3D object (frame, studs, surface, etc.), including eccentricity and automatically calculated stiffness between elements
  • Consider openings via surface cells
  • Design of the individual structural elements utilizing the Timber Design add-on (full shear wall design planned for a future release)
  • Other material options available (e.g., particle board, gypsum, or fiberboard sheathing with cold-formed steel sections)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

I have a question about the results of the serviceability limit state design: How is the increment of the dead load by the factor of 1.8 and the imposed load by 1.48 explained in the result combinations for the SLS design?
How can I change the language in the RX‑TIMBER add-on module?

Do I need to add a line hinge/line release for the CLT wall-to-floor connection in the Building Model add-on?
How can I add counteracting dead loads (0.9*D) in NBC load combinations?
How can I perform member design by case for different settings in the design configuration?
How can I exclude the dead load in NBC load combinations when performing a deflection check?
