Stability Factor Cl in Wood Beam
Stability Factor Cl in Wood Beam
(OP)
Does anyone have example of calculating the Cl in Wood Beam Design? I have looked at several well respected design programs and none agree on the Cl with the same set of data!

Examples of the calculations can be found in the Beam Design chapter in the book Design of Wood Structures by Donald Breyer, et al

Cantilever 1 do these formula only apply to the cantilever section or the whole beam that has a cantilevered section?
Same with simple beam are those only for a simple beam of the or also for the uncantilivered section of a cantilevered beam?
Or should the entire beam fall under the last formula that is other loading conditions?
I have study the use of this and get people that seem to use all different combinations

I believe the method in here removes the need to calc the effective length.
