Add-on Module for RFEM 5
RF-/JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber

The RF-JOINTS Timber – Timber to Timber add-on module designs joints where timber members are directly connected to each other by means of slant screws.

The application allows for the design of pinned joints, considering the biaxial inclination of the connected member (such as a jack rafter joint), for bolt diameters from 6 mm to 12 mm. It performs automatic checks of the minimum distance between screws and optionally provides you with a free definition of the screw distances.

RF-/JOINTS TIMBER - Timber to Timber | Input

First, select the joint type and the design standard.

The connected members are imported from the RFEM/RSTAB model. The add-on module automatically checks if all geometry conditions are fulfilled.

In addition, the loads are imported automatically from RFEM/RSTAB. In the Geometry window, you can specify the screw parameters (diameter, length, angle, and so on).

RF-/JOINTS TIMBER - Timber to Timber | Design

The following design results are displayed:

Check of minimum spacing
Load-carrying capacity of each screw

RF-/JOINTS TIMBER - Timber to Timber | Results

At first, the governing joint designs are arranged in groups and displayed with the basic geometry of the joint in the first result window. In the other result windows, you can see all fundamental design details.

Dimensions, material properties, and welds important for the connection construction are displayed immediately and can be printed directly. Similarly, export to DXF-file is enabled. The connections can be visualized in the RF-/JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber module as well as in RFEM/RSTAB.

All graphics can be included in the RFEM/RSTAB printout report or printed directly. Due to the scaled output, an optimal visual check is possible as early as in the design phase.
