Description
IVaLSA and Provincia autonoma di Trento, together with the National Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED), the Building Research Institute (BRI), the Shizuoka University and the Center for Better Living in Japan, have undertaken a research program on seismic resistance of multi-storey buildings made with Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT).
Engineer Lorenzo Glielmi reproduced in RFEM the FE model of the three-story CLT building which was tested on a "shake table" at the NIED laboratory in Tsukuba, in 2006. The house remained almost unchanged after having undergone a series of 15 destructive earthquakes.

Defining Multilayer Surfaces in RFEM 6
This article will show you how to define multilayer surface structures in RFEM 6 with the help of the “Multilayer Surfaces” add-on.

The load distribution on my members looks different when using the Load Transfer surface vs. the Load Wizards. What is the reason?
- How can I efficiently define line hinges on several surfaces?
- Why cannot I define a rotation when defining layers?
- How do I create an imperfection based on a mode shape in RFEM 6?
- Why does the load wizard "Member Load from Area Load" give unnecessary concentrated loads?
