Timber-Concrete Composite Sections: Stress Analysis Using RF-/TIMBER Pro

Is it possible to perform design for a timber-concrete composite cross-section?


Answer:

Unfortunately, this is not possible with our software.

However, you can design at least the downstand beams of a timber-concrete composite cross-section using the RF‑/TIMBER Pro add-on module. To do this, the concrete flange in the material library must be defined as a new material in the "Timber" material group.

In addition to the design of the downstand beam, this option allows you to obtain the stresses at each point of the cross-section. The following FAQ explains the result display of stresses:

Even if this does not deal completely with the design of a timber-concrete composite cross-section, at least the user has the information about the existing stresses that can be used to perform the design.
