Timber Construction
The timber checks are designed for buildings and engineering constructions under observance of the EN 1995-1-1, EN 1995-1-2 and DIN 1052 for beam elements.
Options for Timber Checks:
- EN 1995-1-1 and EN 1995-1-2, DIN 1052
- Automatic combination
- Check of every set of internal forces considering the modification factor kmod
- Checks under fire conditions
- Integrated buckling check
- Checks for the deflection of beams
Actions, Design Situations
The checks are carried out after the static calculation. For this purpose the load cases are assigned to the actions. Taking into account the preset safety factors and combination coefficients defined in EN 1990, DIN 1052 or DIN 1055-100, the program automatically calculates the internal forces for the desired design situations.
Cross-Section Checks
For every set of internal forces the modification factor kmod will be determined from the service class and the load-duration. Then the following checks will be performed:
- Tension parallel to the grain
- Compression parallel to the grain
- Bending
- Combined bending and axial tension
- Combined bending and axial compression
- Shear from lateral force
- Torsion
- Combined shear and torsion
Buckling Check with Equivalent Beam Method
The buckling checks are carried out according to the equivalent beam method as described in EN 1995, Chapter 6.3.2 and DIN 1052, Chapter 10.3, respectively.
Design Method for Fire Conditions
Structural fire design is carried out according to the reduced cross-section method as described in EN 1995-1-2, Chapter 4.2.2. For this, the flame-edges, the duration of the fire and the charring rate ßn are evaluated.
Checks for the Deflections of Beams
In accordance with EN 1995-1-1, Chapter 7.2, the deflections of beams should not exceed the values in Table 7.2. For this purpose, the instantaneous deflection is determined in accordance with Chapter 2.2.3 for the characteristic and the final deflection for the quasi-permanent design situation.
Utilization, Results
The utilization is defined as the ratio between the action Ed and the resistance Rd of a cross-section.
The following results are available:
- Utilization of the beams for each situation.
- Maximal utilization of the beams of all situations.
- Maximal utilization of the sections of all situations.
Additionally the extremal design values for internal forces, support reactions, deformations, soil pressures and stresses are saved for all check situations. The detailed log also lists the decisive combination internal forces of all design situations for each result location.
