02/08/2018 – Ver. 68 – DXF export improvement with printing of elevations and element properties, rotate and mirror functions, joist custom offset

In the latest version of the software we have added the following new features:

  • Rotate and mirror functions: it is now possible to rotate and mirror the structural elements in a simple and intuitive way. This allows you to model and modify buildings that present particular symmetries even more quickly
  • Improvement and expansion of the drawings export function: it is now possible to print the elevations with the distribution of the connections and of the structural elements such as walls, pillars, beams and floors. The printing of the static lines and the properties of the structural elements (in plan and in elevation) has also been added in the form of tables and texts, including: names, materials and dimensions. Now the different types of elements that make up the drawings are placed on different layers to facilitate their modification or deactivation.
  • Joists position custom offset: it is now possible to define the exact position (custom offset) of the first joist in order to guarantee the perfect correspondence between the calculation model and the real distribution of the structural elements.
  • Improved visualization of the floor joists during the drawing phase: the joists and the calculation lines of the floors are now displayed during the drawing phase in order to facilitate the modeling operations
  • Bug fixing and small improvements

 

 

 

Complexe scolaire en murs ossature bois et CLT

 

Complexe scolaire constitué de trois ouvrages structurels indépendants, séparés de deux joints parasismiques appropriés.
La structure porteuse aérienne a été réalisées par deux technologies constructives différentes complètement en bois. Murs en ossature bois pour les parties enseignement et vestiaire, tandis que des murs en CLT ont été utilisés pour le gymnase. L’escalier externe se compose des profilés d’acier, en revanche, l’escalier interne est réalisé en béton armé. La structure de la fondation pour toutes les trois ouvrages structurels est celle d’une dalle béton armé.

Conception structurelle : ReWis, Comano Terme (Trento)

Bâtiment résidentiel à plusieurs étages en CLT

Bâtiment multi-étage pour habitation civile, réalisé dans la commune de Sesto Fiorentino à Florence.
Le bâtiment se caractérise de quatre planchers (structures horizontales) sur une hauteur maximum de 13 m, tandis que le plan du bâtiment retrace un rectangle d’une superficie de 24,8 x 15,5 m2.
La structure porteuse verticale aérienne se compose des panneaux en CLT, en revanche, la partie souterraine et la fondation sont réalisées en béton armé.

04/04/2018 – Ver. 67 – DXF export of floor and roof elements, possibility of defining walls with no tensile connections, NTC 2018 set as default reference Code

In the latest version of the software we have added the following new features:

  • DXF export of floor and roof elements: it is now possible to export a DXF file that contains the geometrical characteristics of floors, roofs and all their components.
  • Added the possibility of defining walls with no tensile connections: it is now possible to manually define walls without tensile connections and to set the connection auto-design so that it removes those connections when not loaded.
  • NTC 2018 set as default reference Code: the new Italian Standard D.M. 17 January 2018 is now the default reference Code of the software
  • Bug fixing and small improvements

 

31/01/2018 – Ver. 66 – Connection auto-design, new feature to delete not used definitions

In the latest version of the software we have added the following new features:

  • Connection auto-design. The software is now able to automatically calculate the number of tensile and shear connections needed in order to comply with all the relevant strength verifications. According to an iterative procedure, it automatically modifies the connection definitions and updates accordingly the stiffness parameters that lead the model. The user, once he has chosen the connection typologies, can rely on TimberTech Buildings for the assessment of the optimal spacing between the shear connections and the optimal number of tensile connections.
  • New feature to delete not used definitions. It is now possible to delete the definitions (structural elements and loads) that are no more used in the model through this new and simple feature.
  • Bug fixing and small improvements

 

09/01/2018 – Ver. 65 – Export of Reactions in Foundation, RoofRox Connections

In the latest version of the software we have added the following new features:

  • Export reactions in foundation: the user can now export the actions at the base of the structure. According to each load and load combination, it will be possible to export the actions, in csv format, both as forces at the midpoint of each wall and as distributed forces along the length of the walls. This export, together with that of the geometry of the foundation, will be useful for designing the foundation with a dedicated software.
  • RoofRox connections added: the user can now select the connections from a larger database. The connections produced by RoofRox which have been added to the internal database are: hold-down, double hold-down, timber to concrete angle brackets, timber to timber angle brackets, punched metal plates and fasteners.
  • Bug fixing and small improvements

 

13/11/2017 – Ver. 64 – New Italian Standard Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni 2017

In the latest version of the software we have added the following new features:

  • Added new Italian Standard Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni 2017. Looking forward to the upcoming publication of the new Italian Standard Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni 2017, it is now possible to adopt this document as the reference Standard for design process.
    As a consequence, new features and modifications have been added to the software.
    The main changes deal with the seismic section of the Code, the partial safety factors adopted in design, the values of kmod factor for instantaneous actions and the definition of kcr coefficient for shear resistance.
  • Added the command to adopt the same partial factor for structural and non-structural permanent actions when the latter is completely defined.
  • Added the command to edit the values of the snow load on the ground and the wind reference velocity pressure in case of NTC 2008 and NTC 2017.
  • Bug fixing and small improvements
