Accidental eccentricty in design of wood posts or load-brg studs?
(OP)
I saw this as a footnote in some Glulam Column (GLC) load tables - is the actually a reqd Code item?
They had it as 1/6 post dimension, check for x-x and y-y direction, whichever governs.

I suspected this was a Glulam Advisory Council or whatever worry because the GLC properties are so high, you end up with a post that looks much too small.

Besides, builders like that much better than a single 6x8 post.
