Glulam short for glued laminated timber is an engineered wood product.
Glulam roof section.
This standard lists four glulam strength classes.
Glulam can generally be used for the interior and the exterior.
We can service all bespoke projects using knowledge gained over many years many that have used our large range of products whether the requirement is simple or complex straight or curved.
The tables include values for section properties and capacities and allowable loads for simple span and cantilevered beams.
Large glulam members are produced from smaller pieces of stress graded and seasoned timber known as laminates.
Covered ceilings and roof beams.
Its thermal properties help prevent cold bridging.
The dimensional tolerances for glulam are regulated by en 14080.
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.
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.
The tables are based on an allowable 12 23.
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.
Glue laminated beams glulam general.
Glulam beams laid on their flat and used as floor or roof panels are known as glt panels see glue laminated timber panels.
When using it outdoors glulam should be protected under a roof like other load bearing timber.
Table specifications are provided with each table indicating conditions and assumptions used to calculate the loads.
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.
The glued laminated beam design tables form s475 provide recommended preliminary design loads for two of the most common glulam beam applications.

Glulam originated in germany around 1900 but didn t make its way to australia until the 1950s.
Aitc capacity tables provide the uniformly distributed load that a glued laminated timber beam can support based on beam size span and material properties.
Bs en 1194 1999 gives the characteristic values for glulam properties for design to eurocode 5.
These tables are provided as a guideline.
