Cross-sections, design elements
Design assumptions:
the grain parallel with the member x axis
there is no hole or other weaking in the members
the dominant bending plane is the x-z plane of the member (moment about y axis)
Iy >= Iz
in case of Glued-laminated timber (Glulam) the laminates are parallel with the y axis
in case of Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) the laminates are parallel with the z axis
