Timber Joints According to EN 1995-1-1, Section 8.2.2

Is it possible to use the JOINTS add-on module to design timber-to-timber connections according to EN 1995‑1‑1, Chapter 8.2.2, in RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8?


Answer:

The design of timber connections with pin-shaped fasteners is currently limited to steel-timber connections according to Chapter 8.2.3. Pure timber-timber connections on shear, taking into account the Johansen theory, are therefore not possible at the moment.

The direct timber-timber connections using fully threaded screws can be designed with the RF‑/JOINTS Timber – Timber to Timber add-on module, which is used for calculations of the main secondary beam connections.
