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.

The Edge Beam module is currently under development. Be part of the development process! To ensure that our modules support you as effectively as possible in your daily work, we see you as our most valuable development partner. Tell us what features and functions you need! This is how we create design modules tailored to your requirements and your day-to-day engineering work.

Module T19

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 HST2 V3 torque-controlled expansion anchor according to ETA-21/0480
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
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).
