Proof of timber frame walls including load determination
The reinforcement of buildings in wood construction has such an important significance that we have created our own Dietrich's module; DC-Calcs for building reinforcement, which is based on the most modern calculation methods.
Our building reinforcement provides you considerably with more economical results than the calculation according to Eurocode (EC).
Walls are calculated completely with all openings, panel joints and recesses in ridges. This approach helps you to reduce the number of anchoring points. You can ascertain the optimal position of the necessary tie rods automatically with our software.
Wind loads according to EC and NTC are applied to any building shape and loads (dead weights, traffic loads and snow loads) are taken into account in the calculation.
If you want to reduce the number of fasteners (nails, brackets), the additional optimization module is the right one for you.
The calculation of reinforcement is fully integrated with the Dietrich CAD software. This allows you to calculate the building as a whole in one go. Production and wood engineering work with the same input data.
