On the Mediterranean island of Formentera, a new cross-laminated timber building was constructed which is used by a sailing school and a water sports center. The one-story building consists of two separate parts that are connected by low-lying glued-laminated beams in the roof area.

Model Parameters
Model
Marià Castelló designed the project according to ecological building criteria and used materials of natural origin, such as wood. The structural analysis was performed by Kmod Enginyeria en Fusta SL who carried out the strength and serviceability limit state designs with RFEM and RF-LAMINATE. BIM-based planning was also carried out and cadwork software was used.
Structure and Design
The cross-laminated timber roof panels were designed as a pane that transfers the horizontal loads to the transverse walls. All the walls are also made of cross-laminated timber. The connections in the roof and wall elements were modeled with line hinges. The flexibility was considered according to the selected type of bolting. The floor consists of one-way spanning, 6.5m long cross-laminated timber panels on an elastic boundary strip foundation.
One of the greatest challenges in the structural analysis of this building was to additionally stabilize the entire structure at the top by arranging a frame structure made of glued-laminated timber beams with more than one meter height. In some places, these beams serve as cantilevers with a length of six meters, they connect to other beams and form a spatial structure. They were modeled as surfaces in order to better assess the lateral stability. The transversal wind loads on these elements were also considered and evaluated in order to demonstrate the maximum deflection according to the standard.
The RF-LAMINATE add-on module was used to define the CLT panels and the glulam roof beams as surface elements. The add-on module was also used to optimize the surface thicknesses and to design the load-bearing capacity.

Defining Any Concentrated Load Sequence with Only One Member Load
Arbitrary distributions of concentrated loads often occur in the load definition of beam structures.
- General stress analysis
- Graphical and numerical results of stresses and stress ratios fully integrated in RFEM
- Flexible design with different layer compositions
- High efficiency due to few entries required
- Flexibility due to detailed setting options for calculation basis and extent
- Based on the selected material model and the layers contained, a local overall stiffness matrix of the surface in RFEM is generated. The following material models are available:
- Orthotropic
- Isotropic
- User-defined
- Hybrid (for combinations of material models)
- Option to save frequently used layer structures in a database
- Determination of basic, shear and equivalent stresses
- In addition to the basic stresses, the required stresses according to DIN EN 1995-1-1 and the interaction of those stresses are available as results.
- Stress analysis for structural parts of almost any shape
- Equivalent stresses calculated according to different approaches:
- Shape modification hypothesis (von Mises)
- Maximum shear stress criterion (Tresca)
- Maximum principal stress criterion (Rankine)
- Principal strain criterion (Bach)
- Calculation of transversal shear stresses according to Mindlin, Kirchhoff, or user-defined specifications
- Serviceability limit state design by checking surface displacements
- User-defined specifications of limit deflections
- Possibility to consider layer coupling
- Detailed results of individual stress components and ratios in tables and graphics
- Results of stresses for each layer in the model
- Parts list of designed surfaces
- Possible coupling of layers entirely without shear
- Where do I find the setting to specify the entered structural component as a "wall" or "slab"?
- The protocol lacks information on the limit time for the assessment of fire resistance R in the RF-TIMBER Pro add-on module. Can this information be added to the report?
- How can I model a timber-concrete composite floor?
- I would like to convert the load from a surface load to a line load, that is, to apply it to the individual beams. How can I do this without using an auxiliary area?
- I have defined temperature loads, strain loads, or a precamber. As soon as I modify stiffnesses, the deformations are no longer plausible.
- Can the properties, such as B. the cross -section or the surface thickness as well as the material of a surface of an existing element for a new element?
- Is it possible to set user-defined values when viewing solid stress results?
- When performing the fire resistance design with TIMBER Pro, I get the error 10001. How can I fix the error?
- I have selected all available members for design in RF-/TIMBER Pro. Why are tapered members not designed?
- In RF-/TIMBER AWC and RF-/TIMBER CSA, I receive the error that says torsion limit exceeded. How do I bypass this error message?
