Canadian Codes - Timber Design per CAN/CSA-086-01 STAAD.Pro is capable of performing timber design based on the Canadian code CSA 086-01 Wood Design Standard. D4.D.1 General CommentsD4.D.2 Analysis MethodologyAnalysis is done for the primary and combination loading conditions provided by the user. You are allowed complete flexibility in providing loading specifications and using appropriate load factors to create necessary loading situations.D4.D.3 Member Property SpecificationsA timber section library consisting of Sawn and Glulam timber is available for member property specification.D4.D.4 Built-in Timber Section LibraryD4.D.5 Member ResistanceThe member resistances are calculated in STAAD according to the procedures outlined in section 5 (for sawn lumber) and 6 (for Glulam) of CSA086-01. D4.D.6 Design ParametersThe design parameters outlined in Table below may be used to control the design procedure. These parameters communicate design decisions from the engineer to the program and thus allows the engineer to control the design process to suit an application's specific needs.D4.D.7 Code CheckingThe purpose of code checking is to check whether the provided section properties of the members are adequate. The adequacy is checked as per the CSA086-01 requirements. D4.D.8 Member SelectionMember selection based CSA086-2001 is not available.D4.D.9 Tabulated Results of Timber DesignResults of code checking and member selection are presented in a tabular format. The term CRITICAL COND refers to the section of the CSA086-01 specification, which governed the design.Parent Topic: D4.Canadian Codes
