Completed in 2019, the project is currently the largest cross-laminated timber (CLT) building in the United States. Setting precedence among universities, the U of A is the first to complete a large-scale mass timber residence hall and living learning setting.

This article draws a parallel between generating an FE mesh for separate objects using the “Independent FE mesh preferred” option, and generating the mesh without using said option.
Turbulence modeling in CFD, using URANS and DDES models, is essential for accurately simulating wind-structure interactions. URANS balances cost and unsteady flow capture, while DDES provides greater accuracy in complex flows at a higher computational cost.
![KB 001885 | Assessment of Story Drift Under Seismic Loads According to ASCE 7-22 and Building Model](/en/webimage/051645/3995306/im1.png?mw=512&hash=b8237709c4f30213fac51d86d32a42bddde72f03)
The evaluation of story drift in a building is crucial to ensure acceptable structural performance by limiting the drift amount. Excessive drift has the potential to induce system instability and may cause damage to nonstructural components such as partitions. This article outlines the procedure for establishing interstory drift according to ASCE 7-22 and the Building Model add-on in RFEM 6.
![Timber Panel Wall Stiffnesses](/en/webimage/049956/3893282/49956.png?mw=512&hash=8dfc2b6d0af6ade74073e21655c6a73a34a77751)
In this article, the calculation of a timber panel wall with the beam panel thickness type is compared with a manual calculation.
![Feature 002828 | Fire Design of Slabs and Walls According to Simplified Table Method](/en/webimage/050837/3925042/50837.png?mw=512&hash=b06639a36ab8b62ab6d08e08552a5ec274469a37)
In the Concrete Design add-on for RFEM 6, you can perform the fire design of reinforced concrete slabs and walls according to the simplified table method (EN 1992‑1‑2, Section 5.4.2 and Tables 5.8 and 5.9).
![Feature 002825 | Shear Walls and Deep Beams Consisting of Members](/en/webimage/050709/3925056/50709.png?mw=512&hash=8e57b70946dcc367584aee1ee2d82b3efafa652f)
When generating shear walls and deep beams, you can assign not only surfaces and cells, but also members.
