An analysis effect of length of timber laminate on the flexural strength of glulaminated beam / Rafidah Ahmad Moghni

Glue laminated timbers are refers to two or more layers of smaller piece of wood which are glued together with the grain of all layers lamination approximately parallel. They are load bearing structural members for roofs, floors or other construction situation. Glulam members are stronger weight for weight other than structural materials. Glued laminated timber in this study consist of ten layers of wood glued together with the grain of all layers and the flexural strength of glue laminated beam will be determine by using finite element analysis. The length of the laminate of the beam varies relative the length of the beam. The length of laminate is the important criteria in the making of glulaminated beam.
