Module
Edge Beam

Timber-to-concrete connections

The Edge Beam module provides a practical and clearly structured solution for the design of timber-to-concrete connections. Both connections directly to the concrete member and configurations with load-bearing intermediate layers, such as a layer of render, can be taken into account.

Register now! After log-in you can use module T18 for the design of edge beam connections permanently free of charge. All functions are at your unlimited disposal. You can do static calculations, save your projects and write reports.

 

Module T18

One module – numerous applications

Whether edge beam, sole plate, bottom rail, rim beam or bearing timber – from a structural point of view, these applications often involve the same design situation. The Edge Beam module can be used to design these applications in accordance with DIN EN 1995-1-1:2010-12 and FprEN 1995-1-1:2025 (E).

 

FASTENERS

  • Hilti HST3 torque-controlled expansion anchor according to ETA-98/0001
  • Hilti HST4 torque-controlled expansion anchor  according to ETA-21/0878
  • Hilti HIT-HY 200 A + HAS-U adhesive anchor system according to ETA-11/0493
  • Hilti HIT-HY 200-A V3 + HAS-U adhesive anchor system according to ETA-19/0601

VERIFICATIONS

The following verifications are performed in the module:

  • Timber – shear verification of the fastener
  • Timber - bearing verification beneath the washer
  • Timber – combined tension and shear loading
  • Timber – connection loaded perpendicular to the grain / tension perpendicular to the grain
  • Concrete – steel resistance of the fastener
  • Concrete – concrete failure modes
  • Concrete – steel resistance of the fastener without and with lever arm
  • Concrete – Verification concrete cone failure
  • Concrete – Verification concrete edge failure

The fastener in the concrete member can be designed either in accordance with DIN EN 1992-4 using the Hilti Method or in accordance with DAfStb, Issue 615. The design results can be provided for the ultimate limit state (ULS).
