Glulam beams are commonly available in stock sizes that are manufactured for a variety of residential applications.
Glulam roof span.
Tables 4 and 10 provide similar infor mation for floor.
Table specifications are provided with each table indicating conditions and assumptions used to calculate the loads.
The full version allows you to design beams of any size.
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.
Aitc capacity tables provide the uniformly distributed load that a glued laminated timber beam can support based on beam size span and material properties.
That means glulam beams can span long distances with minimal need for intermediate supports.
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.
3 1 8 3 1 2 5 1 8 and 5 1 2 inches.
These tables are provided as a guideline.
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.
Stock beams manufactured in common dimensions are cut to length when the beam is ordered from a distributor or dealer.
