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.
The historical building of Théâtre Marigny had to undergo renovation due to its serious defects of the roof structure which led to its closure in 2013.
The metastable equilibrium resulted from unreliable planning which did not consider the effects of assymetrical load and the suspended ceiling on the roof structure during construction in 1925.
The timber structure of Gazebo for war veterans on the premises of the Military University Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic, was inaugurated in 2014.
The structure was awarded the Timber Structure of the Year 2013 in the category Designs - Experts' Choice.
The "Walsersteg" bridge connects both sides of the Loisach river in the south of the old town of Wolfratshausen in Germany.
The pylon bridge for pedestrians and cyclists has a width of 3 m and a span width of 46 m.
A new architectural highlight in the capital of the United Arab Emirates is the dome of the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
The steel structure has a diameter of 590.6 ft and covers the new local branch of the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Cavezzo in the region of Emilia was damaged by the 2012 earthquake which caused many public and private structures to became uninhabitable.
The municipal gym had damages so serious that it was necessary to completely demolish the existing reinforced concrete structure.
A highlight of the 2014 State Garden Show in the German town of Schwäbisch Gmünd was the look-out tower "Himmelsstürmer" (Sky Climber) made of cross‑laminated timber.
Visitors climbing the 209 steps of the 40‑m‑high tower may feel like walking to the sky.
The Ferrari World Theme Park on the Yas Island, UAE, is an amusement and recreation park including the Formula 1 racing circuit, a shopping mall, several luxury hotels and two golf courses.
The gigantic free-formed roof of the Ferrari World is the largest spatial framework ever built.
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.
