RF-/JOINTS TIMBER - Timber to Timber | Results

At first, the governing joint designs are arranged in groups and displayed with the basic geometry of the joint in the first result window. In the other result windows, you can see all fundamental design details.

Dimensions, material properties, and welds important for the connection construction are displayed immediately and can be printed directly. Similarly, export to DXF-file is enabled. The connections can be visualized in the RF-/JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber module as well as in RFEM/RSTAB.

All graphics can be included in the RFEM/RSTAB printout report or printed directly. Due to the scaled output, an optimal visual check is possible as early as in the design phase.

Knowledge Base Articles

In addition to the result tables, you can create three-dimensional graphics in RF‑/FRAME‑JOINT Pro and RF‑/JOINTS. This is a realistic representation of a connection to scale.

Influence of Duration of Action on Design Value of Strength

In addition to determining loads, some particularities concerning the load combinatorics in timber design have to be considered. Contrary to steel structures, where the largest loading results from all unfavorable actions, in timber construction, the strength values depend on the load duration and timber humidity. Special characteristics have to be considered as well for the serviceability limit state design. The following article discusses the effects on the design of wooden elements and how this is possible with RSTAB and RFEM.

RF-/JOINTS Timber – Timber to Timber allows you to design main-connected beam joints. This article explains the determination of forces in screws of a beam connected to a torsionally rigid main beam.

KB 001848 | Timber Column Design as per the 2018 NDS Standard in RFEM 6

Using the Timber Design add-on, timber column design is possible according to the 2018 NDS standard ASD method. Accurately calculating timber member compressive capacity and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. The following article will verify the maximum critical buckling strength calculated by the Timber Design add-on using step-by-step analytical equations as per the NDS 2018 standard including the compressive adjustment factors, adjusted compressive design value, and final design ratio.

Product Features

All graphics can be included in the RFEM/RSTAB printout report or printed directly. Due to the scaled output, an optimal visual check is possible as early as in the design phase.

The following design results are displayed:

Check of minimum spacing
Load-carrying capacity of each screw

First, select the joint type and the design standard.

The connected members are imported from the RFEM/RSTAB model. The add-on module automatically checks if all geometry conditions are fulfilled.

In addition, the loads are imported automatically from RFEM/RSTAB. In the Geometry window, you can specify the screw parameters (diameter, length, angle, and so on).

RF-/JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber Add-on Module for RFEM/RSTAB | Design of Direct Timber Connections According to Eurocode 5

Design of hinged connections
Biaxial inclination of the connected member (for example, a jack rafter joint)
Connection of any number of members on one node for the type "Main member only"
Screw diameter 6 mm – 12 mm
Automatic check of the minimum distance between screws
Optional free definition of screw distances
Transfer of eccentricity from RFEM/RSTAB
Crosswise or parallel screw alignment
Definition of up to 16 screws in a row

Performing all required designs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why it is not possible to design a biaxial bending with the RF‑/JOINTS add-on module?

How can I generate an area load on members via cells in RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9?

How can I define temporary supports for a form-finding process in RFEM& 6?

Which programs do I need for laminate and sandwich structures, or cross-laminated timber (CLT)?
