Various types of wood beams are often used for the primary load carrying members of non-residential buildings. Often selected for aesthetic reasons or its unparalleled design flexibility, wood beam products also offer superior structural performance combined with long term durability. This seminar will focus on recent innovations—such as the use of fiber reinforced polymers to increase strength and stiffness—as well as sustainability considerations related to product selection and connection detailing, fire performance and endurance. An assortment of beam products will be discussed including Glulams, LVL, parallam, and Laminated Strand Lumber.
