Timber Design for RSTAB 9

The program performs the calculations of tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion, and combined internal forces. There is and option to design the compression perpendicular to the grain on the end and intermediate supports with (according to EC 5) and without reinforcement elements (fully threaded screws).

The higher strength for similar components close to each other is taken into account by the ksys factor according to EN 1995‑1‑1, 6.6(1)‑(3).

Timber Design is seamlessly integrated into the main programs and automatically takes into account the structure and the available calculation results. Additional data for the timber design, such as effective lengths, cross-section reductions, or design parameters, can be assigned to the objects to be designed. You can use the [Select] function, available at many places of the program,in order to select the elements graphically.
