Using the RF-TIMBER CSA module, timber beam design is possible according to the CSA O86-14 standard. Accurately calculating timber member bending resistance and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. 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.
因为在RF-/FRAME-JOINT Pro中没有自动包含“连续梁”类型的框架节点,所以用户可以使用其他选项。 Über die manuelle Definition und den Typ "Durchlaufende Stütze" ist die Bemessung einer solchen Trägerkonstellation möglich.
