LVL flat-wise bending
LVL flat-wise bending
(OP)
Has anyone come across material properties for standard LVL plies (Microllam or similar) with load applied to the wide face? Specifically I'm looking at an exterior header application in a high wind area, so some of the wall wind load will be transferred to the header. Weyerhauser has load-span tables for headers, but I'm not sure if these are applicable to all wind speeds?
I'm assuming there would be some sort of reduction in Fb and E since the wood is engineered to be loaded from a specific (i.e edgewise) direction?
And feedback is appreciated!
