Design of Tapered Members from Timber
Video
First Steps with RFEM
Description
In this video you can see how a tapered beam can be designed for stability with the equivalent member method. For this simplified approach a so called effective height is taken in order to give a conservative design of the beam.
Additionally the various section options in RFEM 6 are presented.

Stability Design of Tapered Timber Girder in RFEM 6 According to the Equivalent Member Method
The new RFEM software generation provides the option to perform stability design of tapered timber members in line with the equivalent member method. According to this method, the design can be performed if the guidelines of DIN 1052, Section E8.4.2 for variable cross-sections are met. In various technical literature, this method is also adopted for Eurocode 5. This article demonstrates how to use the equivalent member method for a tapered roof girder.
