Can be dimensioned in RSTAB and RFEM with the add-on module joints, wood-wood joints according to EN 1995-1-1 chapter 8.2.2?

Answer

The design of wood joints with pin-shaped fasteners is currently limited to steel-wood joints according to Chapter 8.2.3. Pure wood-wood compounds on shear under consideration of the Johansen theory are therefore currently not possible. Direct wood-wood connections by means of full-thread screws are possible with the module RF- / JOINTS wood - wood to wood with which main secondary beam connections can be calculated.
