Extending a glulam beam by splicing another on it
Extending a glulam beam by splicing another on it
(OP)
Is it possible to extend a glulam beam (5.125" x 12") approximately 40" by splicing another glulam beam next to it?
I assume the overlap needs to accommodate a bolt pattern to withstand bending and shear stresses. Are there other factors to be considered?
A contractor put to short of beam in and it can be easily extended by splicing another on it. It cannot be replaced easily with a new beam and this is why a splice is being considered?
Thanks for your help

Based on the loads - this may not be too easy or even possible.
