`E005′
In an earlier post (here) we looked at the probability of occurrence of some wood products ending up out in the field … say, in buildings, having actual modulus of elasticity values equal to (as low as) the values used …
Tag: glued laminated timber
what are the chances?
In a previous post (here), we determined the size glulam roof beam required to not deflect more than 1.00 inches (under design load). We arrived first at a size 6.75 in. x 27 in., but it was not quite sufficient. …
E min and `Never’
I continue to be mesmerized by this thing called `E min’. E min is the `minimum modulus of elasticity’ used in stability calculations in wood engineering design. E min (hereafter just Emin) is based on `regular’ modulus of elasticity, E. …
Glulam MBF
So, in another post we looked at `board feet’ (BF), or `board foot measure’ (BFM). Now we’ll look at BF for structural glued laminated timber (glulam), and MBF, or MBFM. From the earlier post, amount of lumber is often described …
AITC 119 and EEEE
I was doing some reading in AITC 119 Standard Specifications for Structural Glued Laminated Timbers of Hardwood Species, Section 4.1.6 … “ … modulus of elasticity, E, values herein are the average values … The modulus of elasticity of wood …
E min
E min (c) Jeff R. Filler, Pell City, Alabama, 2022 But First, E apparent and E true `E min’ is calculated wood property used in the design of structural wood members (beams, columns, etc.). It is a derived property, derived …
