Lookout Tower with Treetop Walkway in Avondale Forest, Ireland
Customer Project
The tree tower has provided a 360-degree view of the "Avondale Forest Park" in Ireland since July 2022. At the same time, the country's first treetop path was created; it was opened by Micheal D. Higgins, President of Ireland.

Timber Member Compression Perpendicular to the Grain acc. to NDS 2018 and CSA O86:19
A standard scenario in timber member construction is the ability to connect smaller members by means of bearing on a larger girder member. Additionally, member end conditions may include a similar situation where the beam is bearing on a support type. In either scenario, the beam must be designed to consider the bearing capacity perpendicular to the grain according to the NDS 2018 (Sect. 3.10.2) and the CSA O86:19 (Clause 6.5.6 and 7.5.9). In the new generation RFEM 6 and Timber Design add-on, the added feature 'design supports' now allows users to comply with the NDS and CSA bearing perpendicular to the grain design checks.
