Timber Beam Design per the 2018 NDS Standard

[Dlubal Software]

Using the RF-TIMBER AWC module, timber beam design is possible according to the 2018 NDS standard ASD method. Accurately calculating timber member bending capacity and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. The following article will verify the maximum critical buckling in RF-TIMBER AWC using step-by-step analytical equations per the NDS 2018 standard including the bending adjustment factors, adjusted bending design value, and final design ratio.
