RX-TIMBER Column
Design of Timber Columns According to EN 1995-1-1 (EC 5) or DIN 1052:2008-12
RX-TIMBER Column analyzes rectangular and circular timber columns according to the standard EN 1995‑1‑1 (EC 5) or DIN 1052‑2008. The stand‑alone program performs the ultimate and the serviceability limit state designs as well as fire resistance designs.

-
Input
There are various options available for column modeling. Graphical representations facilitate the geometry input. Modifications are updated automatically. The relevant timber grade of the material can be selected from the material library. There are the strength classes of glulam, poplar and softwood timber available as defined in the respective standards.
In addition, you can generate a strength class with user-defined material properties and thus extend the material library. The load cases entered can be checked graphically and combined automatically in load combinations.
-
Design
In RX-TIMBER Column, the following calculation settings are available:
- Selection of the designs to be performed (ULS, SLS, fire resistance)
- Determination of displaying support forces and deformations
- Definition of parameters for fire resistance design according to the simplified method
-
Results
After the calculation, the results of performed designs including all required intermediate values are displayed in clearly arranged result tables sorted by various criteria.
Since the program displays the intermediate values in detail, transparency of all designs is ensured. Furthermore, it is possible to display the distribution of results for each x-location of the column. In this way, both the deformations and the individual internal forces can be displayed.
Designs with design details and selected result diagrams can be added in the printout report providing clearly arranged documentation. It is possible to select which calculation data will be covered in the printout.

Book About FEA and RFEM
In this book for engineers and students, you will learn the basics of the finite element method in a practical way by means of manageable examples that have been calculated with RFEM.

In Germany, DIN EN 1991-1-4 with the National Annex DIN EN 1991-1-4/NA regulates the wind loads.
The cross-section resistance design analyzes tension and compression along the grain, bending, bending and tension/compression as well as the strength in shear due to shear force.
The design of structural components at risk of buckling or lateral-torsional buckling is performed according to the Equivalent Member Method and considers the systematic axial compression, bending with and without compressive force as well as bending and tension. Deflection of inner spans and cantilevers is compared to the maximal allowable deflection.
Separate design cases allow for a flexible and stability analysis of members, sets of members, and loads.
Design-relevant parameters such as the stability analysis type, member slendernesses, and limit deflections can be freely adjusted.
- I have a question about the results of the serviceability limit state design: How is the increment of the dead load by the factor 1.8 and the imposed load by 1.48 explained in the result combinations for the SLS design?
- Which Dlubal Software programs can I use to calculate and design timber structures?
- Windows Defender does not allow me to install RX‑TIMBER. Is it possible to get around this?
- How do I create a user-defined material in the RX‑TIMBER program?
- How can I load the authorization file (AUTHOR.INI) in the RX‑TIMBER module?
- Can I also apply user-defined loads in RX-TIMBER?
- Is it possible to open the RX‑TIMBER files in RFEM and RSTAB?
- How can I change the language in the RX‑TIMBER add-on module?
- The dimensioning in the graphical display in the RX‑TIMBER printout report is very confusing, depending on a structure. Is is possible to optimize it?
- Where is the consequences class defined in RX‑TIMBER?
