One of the world's largest #timber-concrete composite projects contains elements designed in #RFEM6! 🔝
👉 John W. Olver Design Building, University of Massachusetts, #USA
📌 The building is largely exposed and consists of 5-ply CLT concrete composite floor panels supported by a glulam post and a beam structure.
The engineers of Equilibrium Consulting Inc. modeled and analyzed two main building components utilizing #RFEM, including the “zipper trusses” with adjacent steel trusses as well as the timber concrete composite section trusses.
💡 For the timber concrete composite section truss design, multiple steel connectors were modeled along the truss length to initiate the composite action between the concrete deck and the glulam timber beam.
