Module
dovetail

Assessing main and secondary beam connections

Joinery connections have become increasingly important in modern timber engineering. Woodworking machines make an efficient production of these connections possible. The dovetail connection as a mere wood to wood connection meets high aesthetic requirements and can easily be fitted.

Register now! After log-in you can use module T01 for assessing dovetail connections free of charge. All functions are at your unlimited disposal. You can do static calculations, save your projects and write reports.

Module T01

Our dovetail module T01 enables static proof of main and secondary beam connections as wood to wood connection according to building approval Z-9.1-649 by on the basis of DIN 1052:2008 or DIN EN 1995-1-1:2010-12 in connection with the National Application Document.

CONNECTION TYPES

Single or double-sided connections, in straight, inclined or sloping form are available.

LOAD

After the publication of the new licence of June 18, 2018 mechanical stress both in the direction of the insertion slot and in right angle to it is possible.


FAST AND INDIVIDUAL

You can make use of our connection optimizing and of the expert mode for individual adjustment in order to reach your aim as fast as possible.

Design criteria and optimizing

Perform connector geometries according to building approval Z-9.1-649.
Even while typing the geometrical limits and the range of application are constantly checked.

Dovetail joints according to building approval Z-9.1-649 can be used as wood to wood connections for load-bearing timber constructions which must be calculated according to DIN 1052:2008-12 or DIN EN 1995-1-1:2010-12 in connection with national application documents. Connection optimization enables you to achieve quick results with minimal input.
