Connections

Connections are integrated into the structural workflow rather than treated as a separate check.

Timber-to-timber and steel-to-timber

TimberStruct handles major timber-to-timber and steel-to-timber connection types, including internal plates or external brackets with nailed and/or bolted fasteners.

Actions on connections

Actions are entered as characteristic values for the relevant load cases and can be taken from member analysis at the connection position. The required combinations are generated and the governing cases identified.

Fasteners, plates and fire

Checks include fasteners and any steel plates. Fire design can account for protection provided to the connection.
