Effective Lengths for Column in Timber Design
Video
First Steps with RFEM
Description
In this video, you can see how to define different effective lengths for a column. Furthermore, a stiffness reduction caused by creeping can also be regarded for the stability analysis in Timber Design, which is also shown.

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.
