. . . Just ask for BOISE GLULAM beams

Glued laminated timbers from Boise Engineered Wood Products add


functional beauty to any residential or commercial project.

Just ask for BOISE GLULAM beams.

No discussion of engineered wood products is complete without mention of glued laminated timber. Glulams
are sometimes forgotten in what has become an increasingly crowded field of newer products.
Laminated timbers are often the most cost-effective and easy-to-install alternative for beam applications in
residential construction. It is usually easy to determine whether to specify a balanced or unbalanced layup and
whether to choose Industrial or Architectural appearance grade beams.
The benefit to BOISE GLULAMTM beams is that they can be manufactured either with or without camber. Most
stock beams are available with either a small amount of camber (3,500' radius) or no camber, depending on
market demands.
BOISE GLULAMTM beams are manufactured from Douglas Fir-Larch and carry the AITC trademark.

STOCK BEAMS

CUSTOM BEAMS

For most residential applications, stock beams are the


product of choice. BOISE GLULAMTM stock beams
are available through our trusted distributors, located
strategically throughout the country. Our beams are
manufactured in widths of 31/8", 31/2", 51/8", 51/2", 63/4",
and 83/4", with depths ranging from 6" to 24" and
lengths up to 66 feet, with or without camber. Stock
beams are available in Architectural appearance
grade, which is intended for exposed applications
but can also be used for concealed beams, headers,
columns, and rafters. Check with your local distributor
for availability.

Custom beams are manufactured in typical widths of


31/8" through 103/4", with even greater widths subject
to inquiry in depths ranging from 6" to over 48". They
are used when large cross-sections, longer lengths,
curved shapes, or different appearances are required.
BOISE GLULAMTM custom beams are manufactured
on a made-to-order basis. Please call to determine
availability of BOISE GLULAMTM custom beams.

Architectural Appearance Beams

ARCHITECTURAL APPEARANCE BEAMS

These beams are the beams of choice in applications


where members are exposed to view, because they
have a smooth, attractive finish. Stock beams are
often supplied with this appearance so they may
be exposed to view in the finished structure. Voids
greater than 3/4" are filled, three sides (excluding the
top) are planed or sanded, and edges are eased on
the bottom face of the member.

INDUSTRIAL APPEARANCE BEAMS

These beams are used in concealed applications or


in other places where appearance is not of primary
importance, such as warehouses and garages. Voids
are not filled, and only the two wide faces are planed.

COLUMNS

Glulam columns are straight and dimensionally true,


making framing an easy task. Because columns are
available in long lengths, the members do not have to
be spliced together, as is often necessary with sawn
lumber. The columns can be exposed to view as a
unique architectural feature of the framing system.
BOISE GLULAMTM columns have all four edges
eased to match the widths of the Architectural glulams
beams and have the same architectural appearance.
All sides may be exposed to view.

BOISE GLULAMTM headers are commonly used for


concealed applications such as doors and windows
where appearance is not of importance. They come
in two common widths, 31/2" and 51/2". Check with
your local distributor for availability.

BALANCED AND UNBALANCED BEAM LAYUPS

The most critical areas of a glulam beam are the


outside laminations. Thus, the strongest laminations
are placed in these areas in either unbalanced or
balanced layups.
In unbalanced beams, typically known as V4s, the
bottom lamination is stronger than all the other
laminations. This allows for a more efficient use
of timber resources. It is very important to install
unbalanced BOISE GLULAMTM beams with the top
side up. (The word "top" is always printed on the
corresponding side.) V4 glulams may be designed
and installed in both single and multiple-span
applications, and in relatively short cantilevers.
Balanced glulam beams, or V8s, have the same highstrength laminations on both the top and bottom of the
beam, creating a symmetric layup. A V8 glulam can
be designed for multiple-span conditions and cantilevers. V8s can also be used for single spans, but
V4s are most cost-effective for this type of application.
V8 BOISE GLULAMTM beams may be special ordered
at an additional cost; check with your local distributor
for availability.

DEFLECTION AND CAMBER

CHECKING

For relatively long span lengths, deflection may


control the design of glulam beams. Building codes
limit deflection for floor and roof members with
"L/over" limits. The "L" is simply the span length
in inches. It can be divided by a number for
example, 360 for live load on floors to determine
the maximum amount of deflection a member can
have for the corresponding span under full design
loads. Thus, a greater amount of deflection is
allowed for members with longer spans.

Checking occurs naturally in timber when wood


fibers dry. As the outer fibers lose moisture and
attempt to shrink, they are restrained by the fiber in
the inner portion of the beam, which loses moisture
at a much slower rate. Rapid drying increases the
difference in moisture content between the inner
and outer fibers and thus the chances for checking
in the timber member. To minimize the potential
for checking, BOISE GLULAM is produced from
special grades of lumber specifically dried to less
than 16% moisture content. Contact Boise EWP
Engineering for technical guidance.

Camber is a curvature that is built into a glulam beam


during the manufacturing process to offset a portion
of the design load deflection. Most stock beams may
be manufactured with a 3,500' radius camber on a
special order basis . The following chart displays
camber for the listed span lengths:

Camber is specified mostly to reduce the aesthetic


effect of long-span members. Camber can also be
specified to reduce the amount of deflection for
example, it may be used to limit water collection on
near-flat roofs.

ADHESIVES
BOISE GLULAMTM beams are manufactured with
exterior-grade or wet-use adhesives that comply with
all recognized national glulam standards. The purpose of exterior-grade adhesives is to ensure that
the design values of the beams are not compromised
when the beams are directly exposed to the weather
during construction. Though wet-use adhesives are
required when glulam beams exceed a moisture
content of 16% for extended periods of time after
installation, the beams still must be protected from
exterior exposure. (For applications where moisture
content may exceed 19%, see Preservative Treatment.)

(ANSI/AITC Standard A190.1-2002 American National


Standard for Structural Glued Laminated Timber)

Example of Checking

HANDLING & STORAGE

Water-resistant wrapping is often specified to protect


beams from moisture, soiling, and surface scratches
during transit and job-site storage. Because
exposure to sunlight can discolor beams, opaque
wrappings are recommended. Beams can be
wrapped individually or by the bundle. In applications
where appearance is especially important, individual
wrapping should be left intact until installation to
minimize exposure to job-site conditions.
Beams are commonly loaded and unloaded with
forklifts. For greater stability, the sides of the
beams, rather than the bottoms, should rest on the
forks. Supporting extremely long beams on their
sides, however, can cause them to flex excessively,
increasing the risk of damage. Use multiple forklifts
to lift long beam members.
A level, well-drained, covered storage site is recommended. Keep beams off the ground, using
lumber blocking, skids, or a rack system. Keep
beams level. The wrapping on beams should be
left in place to protect them from moisture, soiling,
sunlight, and scratches. For long-term storage, cut
slits in the bottom of the wrapping to allow ventilation
and draining of any entrapped moisture. Proper
ventilation and drainage will reduce the likelihood of
water damage, staining, and the start of decay.

DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES

FIRE RESISTANCE

The tolerances permitted at the time of manufacture


per ANSI Standard A190.1-92 are as follows:
Width Plus or minus 1/16" of the specified width.

BOISE GLULAMTM beams, like many other wood


products, have advantageous fire-endurance
properties. Unlike steel that loses a large percentage
of its strength when exposed to typical temperatures
during a fire, wood beams char on the surface.
Charring forms a self-insulating surface layer when
wood is exposed to flame or relatively high temperatures. The wood below this layer retains its structural properties during a fire. Most solid wood
members, including BOISE GLULAMTM beams, char
at a rate of approximately 11/2 inches per hour.

Depth Plus 1/8" per foot of depth. Minus 3/16", or


1
/16" per foot of depth, whichever is larger.
Length Up to 20 feet Plus or minus 1/16"
Over 20 feet Plus or minus 1/16" per
20-feet of length.
Camber or Straightness Tolerances are intended
for use with straight or slightly cambered beams. The
tolerances permitted at the time of manufacture, without allowance for dead load deflection, are as follows:
Up to 20 feet Plus or minus 1/4".
Over 20 feet Add 1/8" per each additional
20 feet or fraction thereof, but not to exceed plus
or minus 3/4".
Squareness The tolerance of the cross section
shall be within plus or minus 1/8" per foot of specified
depth, unless a specially shaped beam is selected.

PRESERVATIVE TREATMENT REQUIREMENTS


BOISE GLULAM beams are intended for applications where mold, decay, and/or insect attack are not
concerns. For conditions where glulams are permanently exposed to the weather, have direct ground or
concrete contact, or are exposed to significant moisture from condensation or other sources, preservative
treatment is required as specified by applicable
building codes. For information on different treatments for specific applications, please consult a wood
treater or treating association. Please note that when
glulams are treated, design values may be affected.
TM

All field cuts including notches, end cuts, and holes-


should be performed before the glulam beam is
treated. All fasteners used with treated glulam beams
must be resistant to corrosion from moisture.
Consumer Information Sheets that detail proper use
and handling of products with the specified treatments
should be obtained from the treater for proper use and
handling of products with the specified treatments. In
addition, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and
OSHA-required hazard labels provided with each
preservative should be reviewed. State and local
regulations should be followed in disposing of treated
wood waste.

The adhesives used in BOISE GLULAMTM beams


do not reduce the fire-endurance properties of
the wood material. When compared to wood, the
adhesives have a higher ignition temperature and
char in a very similar manner. When burned, the
adhesives do not increase smoke toxicity. For
further information on fire-resistance design, please
contact Boise EWP Engineering.

FIELD NOTCHING & DRILLING


Glulam beams are generally designed for applications where they will be highly stressed under design
loads. For this reason, field modifications such as
notching, tapering, or drilling may only be made only
after approval has been given by the projects design
professional of record and/or Boise Engineered Wood
Products representative. For the proper location of
smaller holes, please refer to page-8. Analysis of
notches and tapered end cuts on BOISE GLULAMTM
beams may be performed by a qualified user of
BC-CALC, Boise EWP's engineered wood sizing
software.

4) Allowable loads are based on axial loading columns using the design
provisions of the National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS),
2001 edition. For side or other combined bending and axial loads, see
provisions of NDS, 2001 edition.
5) See below for allowable design stresses.
6) Load values are not shown for short lengths due to loads exceeding common
connector capacites. Load values are not shown for longer lengths if the
controling slenderness ratio exceeds 50 (per NDS).

Both Architectural and Industrial appearance grade BOISE GLULAMSTM have the same structural
grade, 24F-V4. Appearance grade does not affect the beam's load capacity.
Uniform PLF load values are limited by shear, moment, total load deflection limited to L/240 and live
load deflection limited to L/360.
Live load is equal to 0.8 of total load (residential loading).
Span is measured center to center of the supports.
Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.

Table values for Minimum Required Bearing Lengths are based on the allowable compression
design value perpendicular to grain for the beam and the load value shown. Other design
considerations, such as a weaker support material, may warrant longer bearing lengths. Table
values assume that support is provided across the full width of the beam.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specific application with the BC CALC software.

Table values for Minimum Required Bearing Lengths are based on the allowable compression
design value perpendicular to grain for the beam and the load value shown. Other design
considerations, such as a weaker support material, may warrant longer bearing lengths. Table
values assume that support is provided across the full width of the beam.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specific application with the BC CALC software.

Both Architectural and Industrial appearance grade BOISE GLULAMSTM have the same structural
grade, 24F-V4. Appearance grade does not affect the beam's load capacity.
Uniform PLF load values are limited by shear, moment, total load deflection limited to L/240 and live
load deflection limited to L/360.
Live load is equal to 0.8 of total load (residential loading).
Span is measured center to center of the supports.
Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.

Both Architectural and Industrial appearance grade BOISE GLULAMSTM have the same structural
grade, 24F-V4. Appearance grade does not affect the beam's load capacity.
Uniform PLF load values are limited by shear, moment, total load deflection limited to L/240 and live
load deflection limited to L/360.
Live load is equal to 0.8 of total load (residential loading).
Span is measured center to center of the supports.
Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.

Both Architectural and Industrial appearance grade BOISE GLULAMS have the same structural
grade, 24F-V4. Appearance grade does not affect the beam's load capacity.
Uniform PLF load values are limited by shear, moment, total load deflection limited to L/180 and live
load deflection limited to L/240.
Live load equal to 0.75 of total load, for greater live/total applications (e.g. 50 psf snow or higher),
analyze specific application with BC CALC software.
Span is measured center to center of the supports.

Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.
Table values for Minimum Required Bearing Lengths are based on the allowable compression design
value perpendicular to grain for the beam and the load value shown. Other design considerations,
such as a weaker support material, may warrant longer bearing lengths. Table values assume that
support is provided across the full width of the beam.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specific application with the BC CALC software.

Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.
Table values for Minimum Required Bearing Lengths are based on the allowable compression
design value perpendicular to grain for the beam and the load value shown. Other design
considerations, such as a weaker support material, may warrant longer bearing lengths. Table
values assume that support is provided across the full width of the beam.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specific application with the BC Calc software.

Both Architectural and Industrial appearance grade BOISE GLULAMS have the same structural
grade, 24F-V4. Appearance grade does not affect the beam's load capacity.
Uniform PLF load values are limited by shear, moment, total load deflection limited to L/180 and live
load deflection limited to L/240.
Live load equal to 0.75 of total load, for greater live/total applications (e.g. 50 psf snow or higher),
analyze specific application with BC CALC software.
Span is measured center to center of the supports.

Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.
Table values for Minimum Required Bearing Lengths are based on the allowable compression
design value perpendicular to grain for the beam and the load value shown. Other design
considerations, such as a weaker support material, may warrant longer bearing lengths. Table
values assume that support is provided across the full width of the beam.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specific application with the BC CALC software.

Both Architectural and Industrial appearance grade BOISE GLULAMSTM have the same structural
grade, 24F-V4. Appearance grade does not affect the beam's load capacity.
Uniform PLF load values are limited by shear, moment, total load deflection limited to L/180 and live
load deflection limited to L/240.
Live load no greater than 0.75 of total load.
Span is measured center to center of the supports.
Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.

Table values for Minimum Required Bearing Lengths are based on the allowable compression design
value perpendicular to grain for the beam and the load value shown. Other design considerations,
such as a weaker support material, may warrant longer bearing lengths. Table values assume that
support is provided across the full width of the beam.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specific application with the BC CALC software.

Table values for Minimum Required Bearing Lengths are based on the allowable compression
design value perpendicular to grain for the beam and the load value shown. Other design
considerations, such as a weaker support material, may warrant longer bearing lengths. Table
values assume that support is provided across the full width of the beam.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specific application with the BC CALC software.

Both Architectural and Industrial appearance grade BOISE GLULAMSTM have the same structural
grade, 24F-V4. Appearance grade does not affect the beam's load capacity.
Uniform PLF load values are limited by shear, moment, total load deflection limited to L/180 and live
load deflection limited to L/240.
Live load no greater than 0.75 of total load.
Span is measured center to center of the supports.
Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.

GENERAL NOTES

25

Floor Notes (see pages 25, 26, 29)


Floor loads are 40 psf live load and 12 psf dead load. Floor live load
has been reduced per area provisions in accordance with the model
building codes.
Floor joist spans may be either simple or continuous. Mid-span
support of floor joists may vary up to 4'-0" from centerline of building.
Deflection is limited to L/360 live load and L/240 total load, consult
governing building code for local provisions.
Table based upon either simple or continuous floor joist spans.
Tables assume a wall load of 100 plf (pages 30,33).
Interior floor support may vary a maximum of 4 feet from centerline
(page 33).

Continuous lateral support at the top of the beam is assumed.


Minimum 3 inch end bearing or see BC CALC software requirements.
Bearing length specifications assume bearing across the full width of
the beams and are based upon the glulam's allowable compression
perpendicular to grain value.
Table assumes uniform loading on worst case of simple or multiple
beam span applications for all tables.
Longer bearing lengths may be required depending upon support
conditions, use BC CALC sizing software for analysis.
Multiple member beams require proper connection schedules.
Continuous lateral support at the top of the beam and dry conditions
are assumed.
It may be possible to exceed the limitations of this table by analyzing
a specific application with the BC CALC software.

Roof Notes (see pages 27, 28 & 29)


Always use roof live and dead loads that meet or exceed the required
design loading.
No roof load reductions have been taken.

Ridge Beam (see page 28)

Header (Roof) (see pages 27 & 29)

Deflection is limited to L/240 live load and L/180 total load.


Table based upon either simple or continuous beam span conditions.

Deflection is limited to L/240 live load and L/180 total load.


Table assumes 2-0" roof overhang.

NOTES
Table intended for preliminary design only. Substitutions
should always be approved by the project's design
professional of record.

Deflection limited to L/360 for live load, based upon a


live load/total load ratio of 0.8 (residential floor loading
40/10 psf).

Table assumes that original steel W section was sized


properly, loading should always be verified.

Italicized beams are non-stocked products.

Table was developed by comparing allowable uniform load


capacities due to the worst case control of bending, shear
and deflection limits for simple span applications. Beam
weights are considered.

Steel W Section Allowable Design Values: Fb = 0.66 x 36 ksi,


Fv = 0.4 x 36 ksi, MOE = 29 x 106 ksi.
Steel Information - W Section Nomenclature: 1st number =
approximate depth [in], 2nd number = weight per foot [lb/ft] .

BC CALC Sizing Software


BC CALC performs engineering
analysis to help our customers
size beams and Ijoists for
their building projects. It is
simple to use, yet flexible
enough to analyze most joist
and beam applications. The
user enters span, load, and
hole information, and the
program determines which
of Boises engineered wood
products are necessary for
the-project.
After the analysis has been
run, the user may print an
easy-to-read design report
that clearly shows span and
load information as well as
analysis results.
The program includes a
comprehensive Help menu.
BC CALC is available to Designers,
Architects and Engineers on CDROM. Hardware requirements
include Pentium Processor with a
recommended minimum of 128MB
RAM. To order BC CALC,
call 1/800-232-0788 or email
