Timber Structures Add-on Modules
RF-/TIMBER AWC Add-on Module for RFEM/RSTAB
The RF-/TIMBER AWC add‑on module can carry out designs of the ultimate limit state, the serviceability limit state, and the fire resistance, according to the American standards ANSI/AWC NDS‑2018 and ANSI/AWC NDS‑2015. It covers design methods according to:
- Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)
- Allowable Stress Design (ASD)
RF-/TIMBER CSA Add-on Module for RFEM/RSTAB
The RF-/TIMBER CSA add‑on module performs the ultimate and serviceability limit state designs according to the Canadian standard CSA O86‑09, CSA O86‑14, and CSA O86-19. It covers the design method of:
- Limit States Design (LSD)
RF-/TIMBER Pro Add-on Module for RFEM/RSTAB
The RF-/TIMBER Pro add‑on module performs stress and stability analysis as well as the serviceability limit state and fire resistance design of timber members according to Eurocode 5, SIA 265, and DIN 1052.
Numerous National Annexes are available for the design according to EC 5.
RF-/TIMBER NBR Add-on Module for RFEM/RSTAB
The RF‑/TIMBER NBR add‑on module performs the ultimate and serviceability limit state design according to the Brazilian timber construction standard NBR 7190:1997.
RF-/TIMBER SANS Add-on Module for RFEM/RSTAB
The RF-/TIMBER SANS add-on module can carry out designs of the ultimate limit state, the serviceability limit state, and the fire resistance according to the South African timber construction standards SANS 10163‑1:2003 and SANS 10163‑2:2001.
RF-LAMINATE Add-on Module for RFEM
The RF-LAMINATE add‑on module is used for the stress and deflection analysis of laminate or sandwich surfaces.
The module is a perfect tool for the design of cross‑laminated timber plates (CLT), among other things.
RF-/JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber Add-on Module for RFEM/RSTAB
The RF-/JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber add‑on module designs joints indirectly connected by means of steel plates. The following dowel-type fasteners are available: dowels, bolts, nails, and screws. The design is performed according to:
- ANSI/AWC NDS‑2015 (including LRFD and ADS)
- EN 1995‑1‑1 (including National Annexes)
RF-/JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber Add-on Module for RFEM/RSTAB
The RF-/JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber add‑on module designs joints where timber members are directly connected to each other by means of slant screws. The design is performed according to:
- EN 1995‑1‑1 (including National Annexes)
