Al utilizar el módulo RF-TIMBER CSA, se puede calcular una viga de madera según el método ASD de la norma CSA O86-14. La capacidad de resistencia a flexión de la barra de madera y los coeficientes de ajuste son muy importantes para las consideraciones de seguridad y el cálculo. The following article will verify the factored bending moment resistance in the RFEM add-on module RF-TIMBER CSA using step-by-step analytical equations as per the CSA O86-14 standard including the bending modification factors, factored bending moment resistance, and final design ratio.
The Steel Joist Institute (SJI) previously developed Virtual Joist tables to estimate the section properties for Open Web Steel Joists. These Virtual Joist sections are characterized as equivalent wide-flange beams which closely approximate the joist chord area, effective moment of inertia, and weight. Virtual Joists are also available in the RFEM and RSTAB cross-section database.
