Glue Laminated Member Design

Efficiently design glulam members for axial, flexural, shear, and combined loading conditions.

Easily design structural glue laminated softwood timber members using CalcBook’s intuitive interface and full support for NDS provisions. Enter stress class and species details and quickly generate detailed calculations for various loading scenarios—axial, bending, and shear—including both strong and weak axes. All relevant adjustment factors are handled automatically, with intermediate values and governing equations shown clearly in the output.


Included Modification Factors:


  • Load Duration

  • Wet Service

  • Temperature

  • Beam Stability

  • Volume

  • Flat Use

  • Curvature

  • Stress Interaction

  • Column Stability

  • Format Conversion

  • Time Effect


Design Checks Available:


  • Tension

  • Compression

  • Bending (strong & weak axis)

  • Shear (strong & weak axis)

  • Combined Loading
