Knowledge Base Articles

The stiffening of timber structures is usually carried out by means of timber panels. For this purpose, structural components consisting of slabs (chipboard, OSB) are connected with members. Several articles will describe the basics of this construction method and the calculation in the RFEM program. This first article describes the basic determination of the stiffnesses as well as the calculation.

Slender bending beams that have a large h/w ratio and are loaded parallel to the minor axis tend to have stability issues. This is due to the deflection of the compression chord.

Influence of Duration of Action on Design Value of Strength

In addition to determining loads, some particularities concerning the load combinatorics in timber design have to be considered. Contrary to steel structures, where the largest loading results from all unfavorable actions, in timber construction, the strength values depend on the load duration and timber humidity. Special characteristics have to be considered as well for the serviceability limit state design. The following article discusses the effects on the design of wooden elements and how this is possible with RSTAB and RFEM.

KB 001848 | Timber Column Design as per the 2018 NDS Standard in RFEM 6

Using the Timber Design add-on, timber column design is possible according to the 2018 NDS standard ASD method. Accurately calculating timber member compressive capacity and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. The following article will verify the maximum critical buckling strength calculated by the Timber Design add-on using step-by-step analytical equations as per the NDS 2018 standard including the compressive adjustment factors, adjusted compressive design value, and final design ratio.

Product Features

The following design results are displayed:

Check of minimum spacing
Load-carrying capacity of each screw

First, select the joint type and the design standard.

The connected members are imported from the RFEM/RSTAB model. The add-on module automatically checks if all geometry conditions are fulfilled.

In addition, the loads are imported automatically from RFEM/RSTAB. In the Geometry window, you can specify the screw parameters (diameter, length, angle, and so on).

After the calculation, the RF‑/JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber add‑on module lists joint stiffnesses of all individual members, among other things. The following design results are displayed:

Check of minimum spacing
Load-carrying capacity of single fastener
Steel plates (bearing resistance and stress according to EC 3 and AISC)
Stress analysis with reduced timber cross‑section
Block shear failure
Total load carrying-capacity (including stiffness determination, transversal tension design according to EC 5, and others)
Fire resistance design according to EN 1995‑1‑2

Using the "Beam Panel" thickness type, you can model timber panel elements in 3D space. You just specify the surface geometry and the timber panel elements are generated using an internal member-surface construct, including the simulation of the connection flexibility.

Is it possible to use the JOINTS add-on module to design timber-to-timber connections according to EN 1995‑1‑1, Chapter 8.2.2, in RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8?

How can I generate an area load on members via cells in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9?

Which programs do I need for laminate and sandwich structures, or cross-laminated timber (CLT)?

Which Dlubal Software programs can I use to calculate and design timber structures?
