Glulam roof section.

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. The dimensional tolerances for glulam are regulated by en 14080. Glulam can generally be used for the interior and the exterior. The strength class to which a glulam member is assigned depends not only on the grade of the laminations but on the build up of the glulam section.

This standard lists four glulam strength classes. Table specifications are provided with each table indicating conditions and assumptions used to calculate the loads. These tables are provided as a guideline.

Tolerances and the natural shrinking and swelling behaviour or timber may result in dimensional deviation of the cross section. Glulam originated in germany around 1900 but didn t make its way to australia until the 1950s. When using it outdoors glulam should be protected under a roof like other load bearing timber. The glued laminated beam design tables form s475 provide recommended preliminary design loads for two of the most common glulam beam applications.

It is now used for both structural and decorative applications. Large glulam members are produced from smaller pieces of stress graded and seasoned timber known as laminates. Glulam short for glued laminated timber is an engineered wood product. 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 allows a high degree of prefabrication and long structural spans where necessary but is equally effective for shorter spans. Bs en 1194 1999 gives the characteristic values for glulam properties for design to eurocode 5. The tables include values for section properties and capacities and allowable loads for simple span and cantilevered beams. Covered ceilings and roof beams.

The tables are based on an allowable 12 23. Glue laminated beams glulam general. Its thermal properties help prevent cold bridging.
