8. Example<br />
We perform the design according to EN 1995-1-1 for a wood column that is restrained and<br />
stressed by compression and bending. Moreover, it is supported on the free end in direction<br />
Y. The example is described in the German timber construction book [8], page 236.<br />

Figure 8.1: System and loads according to [8]<br />
Design values<br />
N d = 1.35 · F = 1.35 · 45 kN = 60.75 kN (k mod = 0.6)<br />
q d = 1.5 · w = 1.5 · 1.5 KN/m = 2.25 kN/m (k mod = 0.9)<br />
