INTRODUCTION
SMARTFRAME LVL13
SmartFrame laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is engineered with sheets of thin ultrasonically graded, Norway
Spruce or Radiata Pine bonded together with exterior grade adhesives to make beams which span much
longer distances and support heavier loads than ordinary timber.
SmartFrame LVL13 offers the superior performance and durability of Engineered Timber.
Generally, as the size of a piece of standard timber increases, dimensional stability and uniformity decrease.
With SmartFrame, this is not a problem. Natural defects are dispersed throughout the member, unlike solid
timber with knots. Checking is minimised because SmartFrame LVL13 is kiln dried.
SmartFrame LVL13 is dimensionally stable and resists warping and twisting and is machined to consistently
uniform sizes. This uniformity, in addition to the lack of crown, provides a rigid, flat surface with good nail
holding characteristics. It's a high strength structural member you can cut, fasten and nail with ease. Floor
sheathing can be fastened to SmartFrame LVL13 at any point, with no need to avoid steel fasteners.

CAPACITY FACTORS () FOR USE WITH SMARTFRAME LVL13:

The capacity factor () for calculating the design capacity for a structural member depends upon the type of
structural material and the application of the member as described in table 2.5 AS1720.1 1997. SmartFrame LVL13 used as a structural element within houses, and as a secondary structural element in structures other than houses (as per definition in AS1720.1 - 1997) has a capacity factor of 0.9. For other
structural applications, the values of () should be obtained from the above code. All the tables within this
document have been prepared with the value of = 0.9.

ABOUT FLOOR PERFORMANCE

The feeling that is identified when a person walks on a floor is very subjective. Some people want to feel
a very stiff floor and others want some give so that it softens the footing. When people say the floor
bounces, it may be vibrating. This sensation is often caused by lack of dead load such as furniture, direct applied ceilings or other materials to absorb or dampen the vibration.
The allowable spans shown in the tables in this manual have been designed, to meet the Strength and
Serviceability criteria as described on page 3.
FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT FLOOR DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE.
The choice of flooring system

The depth, stiffness and mass of the joists
Spacing of joists
Fixing of sheathing to joists
Stiffness and mass of floor sheathing
Mass and stiffness of ceiling materials
Method of installation
Location and type of internal partitions and furniture
FACTORS THAT CAN IMPROVE FLOOR DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE.
Glue-nailed floors will perform better than floors secured by nails alone.
Deflection of the sheathing material between joists can be reduced by decreasing the joist spacing or
using a thicker and/or stiffer sheathing.
Proper installation is essential for dependable performance. Adequate and level support for the joists
is necessary, as is correct fastening of the joists and sheathing.
The installation of a ceiling to the bottom flange of the joists.
Between joist blocking can provide some improvement to floor dynamic performance. It is emphasised
that for between joist blocking to be effective, it is important that the blocking is continuous, this being
easily achieved by the addition of a continuous bottom strap such as hoop iron strapping.
If floor dynamic performance is a concern to either the client, designer or contractor, then the above variables can be altered to improve dynamic performance, or alternatively, the spans should be selected from
the appropriate tables based upon floor dynamics.
If between joist blocking is to be used to improve floor dynamic performance, it is recommended that a
blocking system (at least midspan, 1/3 points for large open rooms) similar to the one shown below be
adopted.

RIP SAWING SmartFrame LVL13
One of the unique properties of SmartFrame LVL13 is that it may be ripped through the thickness to the
smaller section sizes as those given in these span tables without affecting the basic strength properties. It is
important that the new members are not cut undersized if the maximum spans in these tables are to be
used.
The sawing through the depth to produce sections of a lesser width may decrease the integrity of the
SmartFrame LVL13 and is therefore NOT recommended under any circumstances.
DOUBLE SmartFrame LVL13 SECTION BEAMS
Vertical laminations may be achieved by adopting the procedures described in clause 2.3 of AS1684-1999,
however these procedures should be considered as the minimum requirements to achieve the desired effect.
Experience with SmartFrame LVL13 beams indicates that this degree of fixing may not satisfactorily prevent
cupping of individual components as a result of the ingress of moisture between laminates during construction. The suggested method of vertical lamination below provides a greater level of fixity between individual
components, and with the use of an elastomeric adhesive, also prevents moisture penetration between the
laminates.

3. The nail schedules shown apply to both sides of a three(3) piece beam
4. Bolts are to be grade 4.6 commercial bolts conforming to AS 1111. Bolt holes are to be a maximum of 13 mm diameter and are to located NOT less than 50 mm from either edge.
5. All bolts shall be fitted with a washer at each end, of a size NOT less than that given in AS 1720.1 table 4.12.
HOW TO USE THE MAXIMUM UNIFORM SIDE LOAD TABLE

Example: see diagram opposite
Beam of 2 SmartFrame LVL loaded on both side (Condition A)
FLW 1 = 2800 mm, FLW 2 = 2300 mm
Total FLW = 2800 + 2300 = 5100 mm.
1. Use SmartFrame software or SmartFrame LVL safe load tables to size the
two member section to support the FLW of 5100 mm.
2. Choose the larger of the side FLW's carried by the beam, in this case
2800 mm.
3. Enter the table at the "Condition A" row and scan across to a table value
greater than 2800 mm. The first value in the row at 3600 mm is greater
than the 2800 mm required.
4. Thus adopt 2 rows of 3.75 x 90 mm nails at 300 mm centres
Floor load width 1

= 2800 mm
Floor load width 2

= 2300 mm
RESTRAINT FOR DEEP JOISTS DURING CONSTRUCTION

Floor joists width a depth of four (4) times the width are classified as deep joists. These joists, due to their
large depth to width ratio, are prone to overturning or buckling under construction. To prevent this, restraint
systems for deep joisted floor should comply with the diagram below as a minimum, or alternatively, the deep
joist blocking detail in AS1684:1999.

PERMANENT BLOCKING
Permanent blocking (which will include some or all of the temporary blocking) has an important function in
the structural stability of the structure as a whole. With the increase in trussed roof construction, everincreasing proportions of the lateral bracing loads are all transferred to the exterior load bearing walls.
This permanent blocking provides:
A satisfactory mechanism to transfer racking loads through the floor diaphragm.

Vertical load transfer independent of the floor joist.
Support to the end of the floor sheeting (Platform floors only). Heavily loaded furniture legs have been
known to cause large deflections and even failures at the edges of sheet flooring.
Torsional restraint to the end of floor joists, improving the joists structural performance.
With the diminished requirement to provide midspan blocking due to the properties of SmartFrame LVL13
joists, it is recommended that the exterior load bearing wall be blocked at least every second joist (in
combination with area of heavy point loads etc) to provide adequate lateral restraint to the structure as a
whole.
SUPPORTING STRUCTURES
With the large spans, and therefore large open rooms with fewer bracing walls now available with engineered products such as SmartFrame LVL13, it is important that the supporting structure is checked to
ensure that stud walls, beams, lintels and footings are capable of supporting all loads imposed from floors
and roofs. The stability of the structure as a whole should also be checked to ensure that there is sufficient
bracing capacity to resist the wind loadings, especially adjacent to these larger rooms.
1. Solid Brick Construction
Lateral stability and strength of supporting walls to carry the applied loads should be checked in accordance
with AS3700 - 1999.
2. Timber Framed Construction
The capacity of the supporting structure to carry the imposed loads from SmartFrame LVL13, and the overall bracing of the timber frame, should be checked using AS1684 1999 Residential timber-framed construction and should be designed to AS1720.1 - 1997.
3. Elevated Buildings
For traditional elevated buildings where the use of SmartFrame LVL13 allows the removal of a centre row of
piers, additional bracing may be required to provide stability to the building as a whole. This may be provided
by using braced partition walls or by designing ground level shear walls at each end of the building.
In all cases, the overall stability of the structure is dependant to some extent on the bracing provided by the
floor system. For this reason it is important that the floor joists be fixed securely to supporting walls. Details
of the required fixing of floors to supporting walls, and the fixing of cross walls to the outer supporting walls
to transfer racking loads, is provided in AS1684 - 1999.
EXPOSURE TO WEATHER AND OTHER HUMID CONDITIONS
SmartFrame LVL13 is manufactured from Radiata Pine or Norway Spruce which has a durability rating of
Class 4, which is the same rating as some Ash type Eucalypts. Untreated SmartFrame LVL13 should not be
used where the equilibrium moisture content is likely to remain above 20% for an extended period.
Once framed into the structure, SmartFrame LVL13 may be exposed to the weather for a limited time without experiencing any structural damage. For longer periods of weather exposure, some swelling is likely and
discolouration may be experienced, depending upon the conditions. Individual members of a vertically laminated multiple member may exhibit some cupping if water becomes trapped between the laminates.
This cupping produces more of a visual and possible fixity problem rather than being structurally significant.
Untreated SmartFrame LVL13 is not recommended for direct exposure to the weather or to humid indoor
conditions, such as swimming pool enclosures. This would therefore preclude its use as balcony floor joists
and for a pergola, but providing it is adequately protected (covered with a continuous elastomeric film of protective coating), would not exclude it from use as rafters with overhanging covered eaves.
SMARTGUARD TREATMENT
SmartFrame LVL13 can be supplied SmartGuard LOSP treated to either H2 or H3 hazard class levels, as
per AS/NZS 1604.4:2002. (Note: Water borne treatment processes are NOT suitable for SmartFrame
LVL13). The hazard class number selected is based upon the specific exposure condition for the proposed
end use of the SmartFrame LVL13, as shown in the table below.

A more comprehensive Hazard Class Table is available in AS/NZS1604.4:2002, but it is NOT recommended
that SmartFrame LVL13 be used in end uses with exposures requiring treatment in excess of H3.
Experience is showing that LOSP treated timber in the outside above ground (H3 Hazard Class) may experience
some leaching of the active ingredients of the LOSP treatment. To minimize the possibility of timber degradation in these situations, it is recommended that: Smart Guard H3 treated LVL13 NOT be used where the surface is horizontally exposed AND unprotected from water entrapment OR where post-treatment protection cannot be maintained.
Post treatment protection may include:
(i)
(ii)
An impervious membrane such as regularly maintained painting or staining.

Construction detailing to prevent water entrapment.
SmartGuard H3 treated timber can be painted just like dry untreated timber, however the primer must be an
oil baeed primer, even for waterborne (acrylic) top coats.
FASTENERS FOR SmartGuard H3 LVL
For SmartGuard H3 LVL to be used in exposed exterior applications, it is recommended that either hot dipped
galvanised of stainless steel fasteners are used.
SMARTGUARD H3 DECK BEARERS AND JOISTS
SmartGuard H3 Treated Deck joists and bearers are a common application for treated SmartFrame LVL13.
The Following detail outlines the recommended construction details to provide post-treatment protection to the
joists and bearers.

NOTES:
FLOORING:
Spans are suitable for solid timber, particle board and ply flooring. Floor sheeting glued and nailed to joists will improve floor
rigidity. Where heavy overlay material is to be applied, such as a mortar bed tiled or slate floor, the permanent load allowance should be increased to 1.2 kPa. A reduction of joist spacing may be used to accommodate this extra permanent load.
A satisfactory result can be achieved by adopting the maximum spans for 600 mm and 450 mm spacings but installing the
joists at 450 and 300 mm spacings respectively.
CONTINUOUS SPANS:
For beams which are continuous over two unequal spans, the design span and the resultant span description depend upon
the percentage span differences between the two spans as shown on page 4.

NOTES:
ROOF LOAD WIDTH:
For definition of roof load width, see page 11 or AS1684.2-1999.
1.The above table was based on a maximum DL of 40 (kg/m2), Total Ground Floor Mass of 40 (kg/m2) Total Wall Mass of
15 (kg/m2), Floor Live Load of 1.5 (kPa), Floor Point Load of 1.8 (kN), Balcony Live Load of 3 (kPa).
2. Minimum Back span = 200% of Overhang.
3. Maximum Overhang = 30% of Back span.
BEARING LENGTHS:
End bearing lengths = 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at internal supports for continuous members. Subscript values
indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 50 mm at end supports and 100 mm at
internal supports.

NOTES:
ROOF LOAD WIDTH:
1. D = member depth, b= member breadth, ns = Not suitable
2. The above table was based on a maximum of 40 (kg/m2), Total Upper Floor Mass of 40 (kg/m2), Floor Live Load of
1.5 (kPa), Floor Point Load of 1.8 (kN).
3. Minimum bearing length = 35 mm at end supports. Subscript values indicates the minimum additional bearing length
where required to be greater than 35 mm.
CONTINUOUS SPANS:
For bearers which are continuous over two unequal spans, the design span and the resultant span description depend
upon the percentage difference between the two spans as shown on page 4.

1. D = member depth, B = member breadth, NS = not suitable
2. The above table was based on a maximum DL of 40 (kg/m2)
3. End bearing lengths = 35 mm at end supports and 70 mm at internal supports for continuous members.
4. Subscript values indicate the minimum additional bearing length where required to be greater than 35 mm at end supports and 70 mm at internal supports.
TOP WALL PLATES:
This table applies to lintels which are part of a wall system complying with AS1684-1999, and therefore includes top plates.

NOTES:
CONTINUOUS SPANS:
For beams which are continuous over two unequal spans, the design span and the Resultant span description depend
upon the percentage difference between the two spans as shown on page 4.
OVERHANGS:
Roof beams in the above table have been designed with a maximum overhang of 50% of the backspan, subject to the
maximum backspan being greater than 200% of the overhang.
BIRDSMOUTH:
Maximum birdsmouth depth = 30% of the roof beam/rafter depth.
BEARING LENGTHS:
Minimum end bearing length = 35 mm, Internal bearing length = 70 mm.
