About the course
This course explains the modelling, analysis, and design workflow for single-span timber–concrete composite (TCC) slabs with shear notch connections using the Rautenstrauch truss model in SOFiSTiK.
Participants learn how to generate parametric truss models with Rhino Grasshopper, CADINP, or SOFiPLUS, define material stiffness for short- and long-term behaviour, and perform linear analysis with time-dependent effects.
The course covers ULS and SLS verification, including stress checks, crack-width limitation, deflection, vibration analysis, and reinforcement design in accordance with DIN CEN/TS 19103 and Eurocode standards. Export of shear notch forces for external verification is also demonstrated.
