We provide specialist design software for purchase by other engineers in the timber frame industry. The software, Timber Frame EngineeringTM, is easy to use and produces a consistent quality format output - every time, which is easy to read. It uses BS 5268 Parts 2 & 6.1 as its foundation and other relevant British Standards are utilised as required. A revision to BS 5268 Part 6.1 came into effect on the 30th November 2007 and the software has been updated to reflect this amendment. Please call us on the above number for a brief résumé of the sections of the code which are affected.
The EUROCODES (BS EN 1990 - BS EN 1999) are now available for use for the design of structures in all materials, and BS EN 1995 for timber structures is the one that is of interest to all those designing in timber. Eurocode 0 series (Basis of structural design) and Eurocode 1 series (Actions on structures) will also be required. In addition to the BS EN codes themselves there are also the National Application Documents, which provide additional guidance applicable to each country; or ‘Member State’ in the language of the Eurocode. We are now in the 2 year period of coexistence and the current date published for withdrawal of the current National codes is March 2010. We are in the process of creating a new version of the software to comply with the Eurocodes, and the current release date is expected to be January 2009, subject to all documentation being available from BSI.
