RX- TIMBER Column designs hinged columns (optionally with elastic head or footing restraint) and brackets (optionally with elastic foundation of the footing column).

For this, circular and rectangular cross‑sections are available in the program.

RX-TIMBER Glued-Laminated Beam designs wide-span glulam beams of eight different beam types (parallel, monopitch roof, double tapered beam, and others).

It is possible to consider typical stiffening elements for transversal tension; for example, bonded steel bars.
