Timber-Engineering

Structural analysis of ceiling and roof components

Timber-Engineering Basic calculates common ceiling and roof structures quickly and easily and creates verifiable documentary evidence.

Timber-Engineering Basic assists you with ceiling and roof calculations. Automatic load calculations, also for extension situations, as well as load transmission, ensure fast, intuitive input. The roof input is designed for real-life construction situations and therefore includes the dimensioning of joints or the consideration of flexible purlins.

As timber construction specialists, our focus is on the special challenges of our field of activity. Our consideration of the current approvals and particularities of fasteners, cross- laminated timber, hardwood products and laminated veneer lumber is based on many years of co-operation with industry and research.

Your advantages at a glance

Timber-Engineering Basic is the right tool for fast pre-dimensioning as well as complete and comprehensible verifications of your ceiling and roof structures.

The comprehensive dimensioning for timber construction

Timber-Engineering Premium combines all the tools of DC-Calcs Timber-Engineering.

Timber-Engineering Premium assists you with all structural requirements in Timber-Engineering statics. The extensive and regularly updated material catalogue facilitates the design of standard products and also the design of hardwood, hardwood CLT, laminated veneer lumber, cross-laminated timber, composite beams and much more.

A wide range of designs are possible with our 2D framework including automatic load determination. There are separate modules available for standard designs such as continuous beams and roofs. Connections, from carpenter's tenons to high- load-bearing fittings, can be verified in the timber construction connection module or directly integrated in the bar design.

Horizontal loads in buildings

Horizontal statics Basic spreads the horizontal loads in the building and loads the bracing elements according to their stiffness.

The horizontal statics are analysed within the building model. The wind loads are determined automatically for almost any building floor plan.

The load-bearing sections can be defined quickly and easily by entering static wall areas and partial diaphragms. By resting the ceilings on the wall areas and through the wall areas interconnected with load transfer, the load distribution in the building is easy to understand.

Different construction methods, such as timber frame, CLT and solid construction walls, are taken into account depending on their stiffness. As a result, you receive the decisive bracing loads of the wall areas and partial diaphragms. Using these results, you have the option of verifying the bracing structural elements in a further design, e.g. CLT with our Timber-Engineering.

All entries are made in a dedicated modelling area of the horizontal statics. You can use the navigation dialogue to manage the static elements and the course of the loads through the building clearly and conveniently. All results are immediately available, meaning that adjustments and optimisations are visible straight away.

Your advantages at a glance

Horizontal Statics Basic is used to generate wind loads for buildings and to organise and document the load flow for building reinforcement. A wide variety of construction methods are considered.

Verifications for timber frame walls and beam ceilings

Based on the distribution of horizontal loads in the building as a whole, all verifications for timber frame walls and beam ceilings are carried out with Horizontal Statics Professional.

The horizontal statics are analysed within the building model. The wind loads are determined automatically for almost any building floor plan.

The load-bearing sections can be defined quickly and easily by entering static wall areas and partial diaphragms. By resting the ceilings on the wall areas and through the wall areas interconnected with load transfer, the load distribution in the building is easy to understand.

The calculated loads are used for the complete design of timber frame walls and timber beam ceilings. The material specifications are stored across the board in the settings of the individual statics elements. When analysing other construction methods, you receive the decisive stiffening load as a result, which you can use to verify the reinforcing structural elements in a subsequent design, e.g. CLT with our Timber-Engineering.
