These tables are provided as a guideline.
Glulam roof span.
Increased design values improved product performance and cost competitiveness make glulam the superior choice for projects from simple beams and headers in residential construction to soaring arches for domed roofs spanning more than 500 feet.
Allowable loads for simple span glulam beams tables 2 3 8 and 9 provide allowable loads for glulam beams used as simple span roof members in snow load areas dol factor 1 15 and for non snow loads dol factor 1 25.
Aitc capacity tables provide the uniformly distributed load that a glued laminated timber beam can support based on beam size span and material properties.
Typical stock beam widths used in residential construction include.
It also means that designers and builders have virtually unlimited design flexibility when using glulam whether the application is home construction a commercial warehouse roof or a highway bridge.
That means glulam beams can span long distances with minimal need for intermediate supports.
This technical guide describes apa ews trademarked.
The full version allows you to design beams of any size.
Stock beams manufactured in common dimensions are cut to length when the beam is ordered from a distributor or dealer.
The beam span length is fixed for this demo version.
3 1 8 3 1 2 5 1 8 and 5 1 2 inches.
Tables 4 and 10 provide similar infor mation for floor.
