The structural analysis program RFEM is the basis of a modular software system. The main program RFEM is used to define structures, materials, and loads for planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells and members. The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.
The structural beam analysis program RSTAB determines internal forces, deformations and support reactions. For designs, there are various add-on modules considering the material and standard-specific circumstances. Due to the modular software system, it is possible to use the program package that perfectly meets your individual needs.
Here you can find numerous add-on modules for the design of joints in steel and timber structures.
A wooden lookout tower called Ester, designed by the renowned Czech architect Martin Rajniš, was inaugurated in Jerusalem in mid-November 2017. The tower in the shape of a blooming cactus is located in the gardens of the former hospital, built in 1887, not far from the walls of the Old City, offering visitors a spectacular view over Jerusalem.
In the case of tension connections with cleats subjected to unilateral loading, the external members (side timber) are loaded by an additional bending moment due to the eccentric load distribution. However, this fact is not mentioned in EN 1995‑1‑1 and is considered in the National Annex to DIN EN 1995‑1‑1 by the reduction of the tensile strength. This reduction depends on the pull‑off strength of the fasteners.
RF-/JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber allows you to design main-connected beam joints. This article explains the determination of forces in screws of a beam connected to a torsionally rigid main beam.
In RF-JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber, it is possible to consider the possible minimum slippage of bolts in the case of guide pins. In RFEM, this slippage is taken into account using the flexibility in member end releases.
