RFEM Data for the Bicycle Shelter
Model
New School Building Entrance
The school’s entrance wood structure is a half glued-laminated timber frame. Web plate connections were used between the posts and the rafters. In the upper section, the rafters are supported at one end on a concrete wall.
The timber posts include a pinned support to the concrete floor with members spanning between each post.
A longitudinal beam further supports the roof purlins.
New Bicycle Shelter
The bicycle shelter includes a steel frame with circular columns pinned at the ground level. The purlins and rafters are I-sections. The columns are rigidly connected to the rafters. An I-section plate is welded at the top of the column to secure connection with the purlins.
The frames are oriented in the longitudinal direction and the purlins are fixed on each side.
A vertical slat cladding at the roof level is attached to the top purlins and bottom plates.
Structural Design
BET Moselle Bois carried out the 3D frame preliminary design utilizing the structural analysis software RFEM. The required designs according to Eurocode 5 for the timber structure and Eurocode 3 for the steel structure were performed with the RF-TIMBER Pro and RF-STEEL EC3 add-on modules.

Not all structural elements of a real building are included in a structural model. As an example, we can look at a pipe that runs along a steel girder frame.
SHAPE-THIN determines the effective cross-sections according to EN 1993-1-3 and EN 1993-1-5 for cold-formed sections. You can optionally check the geometric conditions for the applicability of the standard specified in EN 1993‑1‑3, Section 5.2.
The effects of local plate buckling are considered according to the method of reduced widths and the possible buckling of stiffeners (instability) is considered for stiffened sections according to EN 1993-1-3, Section 5.5.
As an option, you can perform an iterative calculation to optimize the effective cross-section.
You can display the effective cross-sections graphically.
Read more about designing cold-formed sections with SHAPE-THIN and RF-/STEEL Cold-Formed Sections in this technical article: Design of a Thin-Walled, Cold-Formed C-Section According to EN 1993-1-3.
- Why the results of members and set of members differ in the design?
- I am trying to manually check the deformations from the CRANEWAY add-on module. However, I obtain great deviations. How to explain the differences?
- In RF-/TIMBER AWC and RF-/TIMBER CSA, I receive the error that says torsion limit exceeded. How do I bypass this error message?
- Why is the strength always reduced by the kmod value of 0.6 during the calculation in the RF‑LAMINATE add‑on module, although I have load combinations with variable loads?
- Can I consider a reduction of the stiffness according to the German regulation NCI NA.5.9 in TIMBER Pro?
- What should be considered when using a failure of columns under tension in the RF‑/DYNAM Pro – Equivalent Loads add-on module?
- Why is there no stability analysis displayed in the results despite the activation of the stability analysis in RF‑/STEEL EC3?
- I have selected all available members for design in RF-/TIMBER Pro. Why are tapered members not designed?
- How can I model and design a crane runway girder with Dlubal Software?
- When performing the fire resistance design with TIMBER Pro, I get the error 10001. How can I fix the error?
