Production and Trading Company in Pians, Austria
Customer Project
ATP architekten ingenieure is an Austrian customer of Dlubal, working in Innsbruck. It has designed a special project for Markus Handl Beteiligung GmbH, a speck producer in Pians, Tyrol, Austria. The new building of the trading company has in-house production, supplying upscale restaurants and hotels. It includes one of the world's largest continuous cross-laminated timber panels, with a total area of about 6,996 square feet.

Model Parameters of Cross-Laminated Timber Floor
Model
The cross-laminated timber elements designed by ATP form part of the roof structure above the sales and catering area. The structure is designed as a point-supported flat slab with a thickness of almost 10 in. As a result, the downstand and upstand beams commonly used in timber construction are no longer necessary, resulting in a flat ceiling view from below.
The omission of these beams was made possible by two innovations that ATP skillfully combined: a connection and reinforcement system called "Spider Connector" (by Rothoblaas Srl) and a special gluing of joints using a two-component adhesive made of polyurethane cast resin (by Timber Structures 3.0 AG).
The trading company's new building has a gross floor area of 50,784 ft2 and is divided functionally and visually into two building parts. The warehouse and production are on the ground floor; on the upper floor are offices, meeting rooms, a cafeteria, and a sales and catering area, including a fully equipped kitchen. Vertically oriented inside timber cladding combined with glass fronts in the sales area were installed in the upper floor.

Modeling Cross-Laminated Timber Structures - Supports
The support of the cross-laminated timber panel deserves special attention.

Timber Design | Strength and Stability | Stability Analysis Features
- Stability analyses for flexural buckling, torsional buckling, and flexural-torsional buckling under compression
- Import of the effective lengths from the calculation using the Structure Stability add-on
- Graphical input and check of the defined nodal supports and effective lengths for a stability analysis
- Determination of the equivalent member lengths for tapered members
- Consideration of the lateral-torsional bracing position
- Lateral-torsional buckling analysis of the structural components subjected to moment loading
- Depending on the standard, a choice between user-defined input of Mcr, analytical method from the standard, and use of internal eigenvalue solver
- Consideration of a shear panel and a rotational restraint when using the eigenvalue solver
- Graphical display of a mode shape if the eigenvalue solver was used
- Stability analysis of structural components with the combined compression and bending stress, depending on the design standard
- Comprehensible calculation of all necessary coefficients, such as the factors for considering moment distribution or interaction factors
- Alternative consideration of all effects for the stability analysis when determining internal forces in RFEM/RSTAB (second-order analysis, imperfections, stiffness reduction, possibly in combination with the Torsional Warping (7 DOF) add-on)
- How does the "Orthotropic Plastic" material model work in RFEM?
- Which Dlubal Software programs can I use to calculate and design timber structures?
- Which add-on modules and programs do I need for laminate and sandwich structures as well as cross-laminated timber (CLT)?
- Is it possible to design timber structures in RFEM or RSTAB?
- How is it possible to display the library of RF‑LAMINATE? We would like to check this is up to date.
