Design of a welded truss
This technical article deals with the component and cross-section designs of a welded truss in the ultimate limit state. Furthermore, the deformation analysis in the serviceability limit state is described.

Structural Analysis Models to Download
You can download here a wide range of structural models (for example, RFEM, RSTAB, or RWIND files) that you can use for training purposes or for your projects.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- I design timber components. The deformations of load combinations deviate from the manual calculation exactly by the factor of the material partial safety factor. Why?
- I often edit the reinforcement provided by the program. Adjusting the reinforcement by using coordinates takes much effort and time if having several beams in the model. Is there any way to speed up the reinforcement editing?
- Which programs can I use to calculate and design power plants?
- Which filter settings should be selected in the material library for concrete in order to perform design in RF‑CONCRETE according to the Swedish National Annex? In RFEM, there is no Swedish standard group available for the selection.
- I have analyzed two models of an inclined bored pile as a support with defined spring stiffness. A surface that can be moved horizontally (globally) is used for the force transmission. The bored pile in Model A is a support inclined by 15° with a spring stiffness of 2,000 kN/m in the axial direction. The bored pile of Model B is a support with the defined spring stiffnesses, divided into the respective horizontal and vertical components. The value of the spring stiffness is always the same (2,000 kN/m). In my opinion, both models are equivalent. Why are there different results in the deformation anyway?
- What is the best way to consider steel fiber reinforced concrete with the structural analysis program RFEM?
- I design a cross-section created in the SHAPE‑THIN program by using the RF‑STEEL EC3 add-on module, but the program shows the error message "ER006 Invalid type of c/t-part for cross-section of type General." What can I do?
- How can I increase the maximum number of iterations in RFEM/RSTAB?
- I would expect the results from my load combination (CO) set to a linear analysis to equal the summation of the results from my load cases (LC) also set to a linear analysis. Why do the results not match?
- Which Dlubal Software programs can I use to calculate and design timber structures?
