SPREADSHEET FOR TIMBER-TO-CONCRETE JOINT SYSTEM

Calculation of the TC FUSION joint system between CLT panels using screws and threaded rods for timber-to-concrete composite structures.

It allows to determine the design strengths according to standards by applying the calculation method according to the product ETA. By entering the stresses and dimensions of the elements (CLT, connectors) it determines the load-bearing capacity of the system and performs the verification (strength and stiffness).
The spreadsheet allows the use of VGS, VGZ and RTR connectors for the most common CLT stratigraphies, with the possibility of implementing customised configurations, together with the relevant timber class.
Calculation report available after the work is completed.

PATROL LIFELINES SPREADSHEET 

Calculation of the load at the intermediate and terminal supports of a PATROL lifeline.

It allows the calculation of the load at the lifeline supports, as well as the deflection at the longest span, depending on the intervals between supports and the total length of the lifeline. The calculation can be carried out with both SPEAR absorber tensioner and SPEAR EVO in combination with TOWER, SHIELD and direct fastening to structure.
Calculation report available after the work is completed.

SPREADSHEET FOR JOINTS WITH LOCK CONCEALED CONNECTOR

Calculation of a joint between timber elements with LOCK concealed connector, subjected to axial and shear loads in all directions.

It allows the calculation method application according to the product ETA: simply enter the loads and dimensions of the chosen elements (beams, connectors, grooving), to check every possible failure mechanism and define the quantities of connectors to be used.The spreadsheet can be used for both LOCK in the raw version and in the EVO version for aggressive environments. Both versions can be calculated with three varieties of screws: martensitic stainless steel, carbon steel and C4 EVO coated. Different lengths can be chosen for each type of screw, depending on requirements.

It is possible to print out both the report with the verifications and the connector configuration when the job is finished.

SPREADSHEET FOR JOINTS WITH METAL PLATES AND XEPOX EPOXY RESIN

Calculation of the strength of a joint between timber elements with glued plates, subjected to moment, axial and shear loads, for two distinct load combinations.

It allows the simple application of the calculation method explained in the catalogue "Plates and connectors for timber" and in the spreadsheet itself: simply enter the loads and dimensions of the selected elements (beams, plates, grooving), to check every possible failure mechanism and define the quantities of resin to be used.

When the work is completed there is the possibility to print the calculation and verification report, as well as the theoretical explanation and the diagram of the perforated plate in case it is chosen.

TERRACES SPREADSHEET

Rapid calculation of all Rothoblaas components required for the construction of a rectangular or "L" shaped terrace: supports, substructure, fasteners and connectors for the boards.

Possibility of dimensioning the type of support for timber or aluminium substructures and the type of connector for visible or concealed fasteners.
