Load Combinations in Timber Structures for European and American Timber Standards
In addition to determining loads, some particularities concerning the load combinatorics in timber design have to be considered.
New
Timber Design | Strength and Stability | Cross-Section Resistance Features
- Design of tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion, and combined internal forces
- Consideration of a notch
- Support pressure design for the internal and external supports
- Design of curved and tapered members
-
How do I define a member as a cantilever and not as supported at both ends for serviceability or deflection design?
- I would like to export nodal support forces of several load cases, load combinations and result combinations into an Excel spreadsheet in RFEM 6. How should I proceed?
- Where can find the option to hide the defined types (for example, design supports or effective lengths)?
- How do I create a user-defined Design Situation with my own chosen load combinations?
- How can I neglect torsion in the steel and timber design?
- How do I perform stability analysis to determine the critical load factor in RFEM 6?
- Where can I find the materials for the corresponding National Annexes in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9?
- How does the "Orthotropic Plastic" material model work in RFEM?
- What is the meaning of the superposition according to the CQC rule in a dynamic analysis??
- How can I display the internal forces in the global coordinate system and not in the principal coordinate system of the cross-section?
- I would like to export nodal support forces of several load cases, load combinations and result combinations into an Excel spreadsheet in RFEM 6. How should I proceed?
