Gluelam Girder

• Design according to DIN 1052 and EN 1995-1 and corresponding national annexes for DE, AT, SK/CZ and UK
• Different girder forms such as parallel, shed roof and anticline roof girders with straight bottom chord or with sloping bottom chord as well as transom and fish-bellied girders
• Design using Baubuche GL70 and Kerto-S as timber material
• Optimisation of the roof girder allowing maximum efficiency of the cross-section
• Design of the cross section with different lamella thicknesses
• Consideration of a transverse strengthening with glued or screwed threaded bars or affixed bracings
• Integration of curved system axis
• Design loads and calculation of wind and snow according to DIN and EN with national annexes for DE, AT, SK/CZ and UK
• Design for ULS and SLS and the required stability analysis as well as fire protection analysis
• Design of geometrical discontinuity areas such as box outs and settled supports (notches)
• Consideration of glued-in threaded rods and wood reinforcements
• Configuration with preview of the results lists
• Adaptation to the latest generation of Eurocodes standards and operation under Windows®10
