Did you know? In the Design Supports, you can now define fully threaded screws as transversal compression stiffening elements for the "Compression Perpendicular to Grain" design. In this case, the pressing-in and buckling of the bolts is analyzed.
Moreover, the design shear resistance is checked in the plane of the screw tip. The angle of dispersal can be considered as linear under 45° or nonlinear (according to Bejtka, I. (2005). Verstärkung von Bauteilen aus holz mit vollgewindeschrauben. KIT Scientific Publishing.).
A library for cross-laminated timber panels is implemented in RFEM, from which you can import the manufacturer's layer structures (for example, Binderholz, KLH, Piveteaubois, Södra, Züblin Timber, Schilliger, Stora Enso). In addition to the layer thicknesses and materials, there is also the information about stiffness reductions and the narrow side bonding.
Weiterhin stehen die Programme RX-HOLZ Pfette zur Bemessung von Koppelpfetten und Durchlaufträgern, RX-HOLZ Rahmen zur Bemessung von Dreigelenkrahmen, RX-HOLZ Verband zur Bemessung von Fachwerkverbänden sowie RX-HOLZ Dach zur Bemessung von Holzdächern zur Verfügung.
These programs are not included in the RX‑TIMBER Package.
