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.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- For a truss with the steel lower flange and timber diagonals, I would like to design the connection of the diagonals. Is this possible?
- How many members can be connected to a node in RF-/JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber and what is the minimum angle between the members?
- Is it possible to automatically consider the flexibility of the fasteners in the RF-/JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber module when determining the internal forces?
- There is a note in the RF-/JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber add-on module saying that the member length is too short. What is the minimum length and how to avoid the problem?
- Is it possible to design Joints, Timber Connections according to EN 1995-1-1, Chapter 8.2.2 in RSTAB and RFEM?
- How can I create a curved or arched section?
- How are the signs for the release results of a line release and line hinges interpreted?
- Is it possible to design the support pressure or the compression perpendicular to the grain in RX‑TIMBER?
- After the design with RF‑/TIMBER Pro, I optimized a cross-section. Why is the utilization of the optimized cross-section exceeded now?
- Why are the stresses of the 90° orientation not displayed for a layer with the orthotropy direction 90° for σb,90 in RF‑LAMINATE?
