LVL posts crushing plywood & plates
LVL posts crushing plywood & plates
(OP)
I am designing a 4 story wood apartment building with some LVL posts with loads approaching 20K.
I have asked that all posts be on continuous LVL material, ie no interuption from plates or plywood flooring. The wall panel supplier has questioned this. Am I being unreasonable or is crushing a real concern? I am interested in the forums experience with this.
