ΣΧΕΔΙΑΣΜΟΣ ΞΥΛΙΝΩΝ ΚΑΤΑΣΚΕΥΩΝ (TIMBER FRAME / CLT)
Orthotropy for CLT panels
Calculation of stiffness parameters for cross-laminated timber panels is not an easy task, and yet the correct orthotropic stiffness is essential for an accurate calculation of internal forces in the structure.
While SCIA Engineer was already capable of considering the orthotropic behaviour for CLT, this procedure has been immensely simplified with the introduction of a new orthotropy type: “Cross laminated timber”. You set your 2D member to an orthotropic behaviour and open the orthotropy menu. There, you can select the new orthotropy type.
Simply choose your material, number of layers, the layer thicknesses and SCIA Engineer will calculate and apply all the corresponding stiffness parameters to your model. It is the first small step into a comprehensive solution for timber structures.
FEM Modeling and Experimental Tests of Timber Bridge Structure
- Quick and economical design of timber beams, columns and purlins in a 3D multi-material, graphical modelling, and analysis environment.
- Full compatibility with advanced analysis features like nonlinearities, absences, etc.
- Extensive verifications for prismatic, curved, and tapered members according to Eurocode 5 and related NCCIs.
- Support for 19 National Annexes.
