- [00:00] 🏗 Timber beams are commonly used in buildings, such as ceilings, roofs, and garages, and this video demonstrates how to design and verify the dimensions of a wooden beam according to Eurocode. - [01:10] 🏡 Most Timber beams are simply supported, and understanding the static system is crucial. This often involves one fixed support and one roller support, which are essential components for flat roofs. - [03:00] 🪚 Timber material selection is based on factors like project span, cost, and personal preference, with choices including structural wood or engineered wood like glue-lam or laminated veneer lumber. - [04:05] 📐 To design a Timber beam, you need to define the cross-sectional width and height, which are based on the designer's experience. This information is crucial for calculating the moment of inertia, which is required for stress calculations. - [05:40] 📈 In the ultimate limit state design (ULS), you verify the stresses in Timber members due to bending and shear. This involves calculating load combinations and comparing resistance stresses to design stress. - [08:10] 🏗 In the serviceability limit state (SLS) design, you ensure that the beam's deflection does not exceed specified values, and you calculate instantaneous and final deflection criteria based on load combinations and material properties.
This series on load combination calculation, beam design, and similar topics are excellent. You have an incredible talent for making even the dullest and complex subjects interesting and concise. I'd also love to see a video on calculations for sloped roofs. Cheers, and thanks! These videos have saved me a lot of time.
Hi, thank you so much for this helpful video. I am from the UK and have a huge end of year project where I have to produce a detailed design for a multi-storey building. I have been using the 'Manual for the design of timber building structures to Eurocode 5'.This video title states according to euro code and yet looking in this manual the equations and method is very very different. I have already used your method and equations in this video for the design of my timber joists, and don't know what to do. Whether to continue with yours as to whether it is right or what is seen in the manual even though. both of you claim to be according to eurocode. I really need help😅
Hi, I don’t know what equations the book shows, but you should always get a copy of Eurocode and don’t just use equations from a book blindly. Each country also has a national annex which sometimes defines formulas differently than the general Eurocode. Hope this helps. Laurin

Hi Amir,
Thank you for your great feedback! I'll take your suggestions into account when scripting the next videos.

Hello dear i would like to know about which software whiteboard animation you use for creating this video.
Thank you
Hi!
The software is called Doodly.
