Continuous Rafter
DSP+
The DSP+ program can be used to calculate and design single-span and multi-span rafters as individual components. For the continuous rafter, the wind load assumptions are based on a closed, symmetrical building and for the single-pitch roof rafter, they are based on a closed building with a single-pitch roof. Cantilevers can be defined at the ridge and the eaves.

Structural system
- Straight continuous rafters having an inclination and the same cross-section over several spans without intermediate joints
- Different span lengths
- The cantilever can have a different cross-section
- Projection over the ground plan of the house can deviate from the cantilever geometry
- Supports sway in the horizontal and vertical direction or restrained. The restraints can be defined as being rigid or elastic
Loads
- Automatic generation of the loads from self-weight, snow, and wind
- Additional user-defined loads as uniformly distributed loads, concentrated loads, or trapezoidal loads
- Man loads as well as wind uplift at projections
- Accidental snow load is optionally available
- Loads from photovoltaic arrays
- To reduce the computing time for more extensive systems, various settings are available for the grouping of load cases and load combinations
Design settings
Optionally selectable:
- Verification of the wind suction resistance
- Seismic load combinations
- Hot design
- As a standard option, only positive deflections are verified on the cantilever (on short cantilevers, the negative deflection is often decisive in terms of calculation, but this is not always desired)
Effective length for buckling and lateral buckling separately for the cold and hot design:
- Default setting: calculation of the effective length for buckling from the eigenvalue solution of the plane system. Assumption of continuous lateral support with limitation of the maximum effective length for buckling in the rafter plane to 0.9 times the component length
- Alternatively, setting the effective length to the length of the member, the component or a default value
Connection details

Output
- User-defined output with various setting options for tables and graphics

“With the FRILO Suite, we benefit from the use of all programs”
With the switch to the FRILO Suite, the engineering office concon has decided to rely on the FRILO subscription model. The reasons of the long-standing customer are manifold.
FRILO & CARBOrefit® | The calculation with carbon concrete pays off
With CARBOrefit® an process that enables renovation and reinforcement with carbon concrete has been integrated into the FRILO Software.
