The module RX-TIMBER Column can be run as a stand-alone program and designs rectangular or round timber columns for the ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state according to EN 1995-1-1: 2004 or DIN 1052: 2004-08.
In addition, the fire protection check is possible according to DIN 4142, part 22.
