Selected aspects of structural design of timber trusses with punched metal fasteners

Abstract

Selected aspects of structural design of timber trusses with punched metal fasteners. The paper discusses issues related to calculations of timber trusses when applying Robot Structural Analysis and TrussCon software. The authors draw attention to differences in results obtained when statics calculations to identify forces acting in the truss, including flexibility of the nodes, are carried out using traditional methods. The need to apply appropriate standards is also discussed. The paper indicates problems which can arise in static analysis of existing buildings and in designing structural reinforcement (essential, for example, in converted buildings) for structures built in compliance with the old Polish standard which no longer applies.
