The RFEM program 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 RF-LAMINATE add-on module performs stress and deflection analysis of laminate surfaces under consideration of shear coupling (cross-laminated timber elements, fiberglass, carbon, and so on).
Brock Commons is a student residence currently under construction at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
The mass timber hybrid structure comprises of five‑ply cross laminated timber (CLT) floor panels, a concrete transfer slab, and a steel framed roof.
The New Candlewood Suites on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, is the first cross‑laminated timber (CLT) hotel constructed in the US.
This four story building, made of 56,700 ft3 of CLT and 1,200 ft3 of glulam material, serves the lodging needs of the Redstone Arsenal Army post.
The monastery "Little Flower" was built in 2015, situated in beautiful scenery of green meadows, mountains and crystal-clear lakes.
The little monastery includes 18 bedrooms, a chapel, a dining room, a kitchen, and a conference room.
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.
The multigenerational house with a view at Lake Constance was built as an environmentally friendly wooden structure and designed as a passive house.
Since the region is located in earthquake zone 2, it was also necessary to perform the dynamic analysis.
A timber apartment complex with appealing architecture has been built in the Italian town of Brescia. Four housing complexes include a total of 72 housing units.
For the Lombard Institute for Residential Buildings (ALER), this has been the first project carried out in wood.
G3 Shopping Resort is the largest construction project for cross-laminated timber in Europe.
The structure with architecturally sophisticated design consists of cross-laminated timber slabs and glued-laminated beams. Both architectural and structural highlight is the huge timber roof spanning the building like a giant wave.
An extraordinary project of a new workshop for wood carving art was realized in South Tyrol.
As the triangulated facade could be used only partially for load application, the building was a great challenge for the responsible timber construction engineer.
