Knowledge Base Articles

Influence of Duration of Action on Design Value of Strength

In addition to determining loads, some particularities concerning the load combinatorics in timber design have to be considered. Contrary to steel structures, where the largest loading results from all unfavorable actions, in timber construction, the strength values depend on the load duration and timber humidity. Special characteristics have to be considered as well for the serviceability limit state design. The following article discusses the effects on the design of wooden elements and how this is possible with RSTAB and RFEM.

In this article, the calculation of a timber panel wall with the beam panel thickness type is compared with a manual calculation.

KB 001848 | Timber Column Design as per the 2018 NDS Standard in RFEM 6

Using the Timber Design add-on, timber column design is possible according to the 2018 NDS standard ASD method. Accurately calculating timber member compressive capacity and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. The following article will verify the maximum critical buckling strength calculated by the Timber Design add-on using step-by-step analytical equations as per the NDS 2018 standard including the compressive adjustment factors, adjusted compressive design value, and final design ratio.

KB 001825 | WebService & API for Analysis of Construction Stages

When calculating regular structures, data input is often not complicated but time-consuming. Input automation can save valuable time. The task described in the present article is to consider the stories of a house as single construction stages. Data is entered using a C# program so that the user does not have to enter the elements of the individual floors manually.

Torsional stress at the intersection points of a cross -laminated timber plate in RFEM

In the RF-LAMINATE add-on module for RFEM, the design of torsional shear stresses in the superposition of net and gross cross-section values is possible. The design is performed separately in the x- and y-directions. The loads on the intersection points of cross-laminated timber panels are checked.

Activation of Camera Flight Mode in RFEM

With the Camera Fly Mode view option, you can fly through your RFEM and RSTAB structure. Control the direction and speed of the flight with your keyboard. Additionally, you can save the flight through your structure as a video.

Defining Load Eccentricity for Uniform Member Load

You can define eccentricities for member loads of the load type 'Force'. You can apply the load eccentricities by means of an absolute or relative offset.

We recommend using the large deformation analysis to consider all effects of eccentric loads.

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".

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How can the NDS and CSA O86 factors be manually adjusted for consideration in the Timber Design add-on?

What calculation is carried out for the NDS Strength Configuration "Calculation of Torsion" options?

Which Dlubal software products do you recommend for the structural analysis and design of timber structures in particular?

How can I model a timber beam with stiffening on both sides? (splice)

How can I generate an area load on members via cells in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9?

Which programs do I need for laminate and sandwich structures, or cross-laminated timber (CLT)?
