Glulam Roof Section

When using it outdoors glulam should be protected under a roof like other load bearing timber.

Glulam roof section.

Table specifications are provided with each table indicating conditions and assumptions used to calculate the loads. These tables are provided as a guideline. The tables include values for section properties and capacities and allowable loads for simple span and cantilevered beams. This standard lists four glulam strength classes.

Glulam beams laid on their flat and used as floor or roof panels are known as glt panels see glue laminated timber panels. Bs en 1194 1999 gives the characteristic values for glulam properties for design to eurocode 5. Glulam roof beams if the proposed design of your roof is not achievable using a conventional truss design then sydenhams can incorporate glulam laminated beams to provide support intermediately or as a design statement the beams can be left exposed to provide maximum impact. Glulam can generally be used for the interior and the exterior.

Tolerances and the natural shrinking and swelling behaviour or timber may result in dimensional deviation of the cross section. Large glulam members are produced from smaller pieces of stress graded and seasoned timber known as laminates. Aitc capacity tables provide the uniformly distributed load that a glued laminated timber beam can support based on beam size span and material properties. It is now used for both structural and decorative applications.

Glulam originated in germany around 1900 but didn t make its way to australia until the 1950s.

The glued laminated beam design tables form s475 provide recommended preliminary design loads for two of the most common glulam beam applications. We are a designer and manufacturer of wooden components and glulam structures since 1967 simonin continues to develop and innovate to meet your projects requirements.

Glulam allows a high degree of prefabrication and long structural spans where necessary but is equally effective for shorter spans. The glulam production process uses adhesive that complies with ss en 301 both for the finger jointing of individual laminates and to bond the laminates. Covered ceilings and roof beams. Glue laminated beams glulam general.

The dimensional tolerances for glulam are regulated by en 14080. Glulam short for glued laminated timber is an engineered wood product. Its thermal properties help prevent cold bridging.
