This option defines additional code parameters for the timber bar type. It is available by clicking More in the Member Definition - Parameters dialog.
Dialog elements
- Load parameters
- Select the Load type for the member.
- Section parameters
- Enter the Anet/Agross ratio. This value is used to consider section factors exposed to tensile force
- Additional conditions for round sections
- If this option is selected, during the calculations of a member with a round section subjected to bi-axial bending, the moments My and Mz are replaced with a resultant moment as their vector sum. Because of that moment, Robot treats the member as a member subjected to unidirectional bending
- Solid wet timber
- Select this option to increase all coefficients kdef (as defined in table 3.2) by 1.
- Influence of cracks during shear
- Select if you want the influence of cracks during shear (as defined in chapter 6.1.7.(2) of the code) to be calculated automatically or manually.
By default, the automatic option is selected. To specify the kcr coefficient, select User and enter a value.
