Lesson 2: Assessment

Difficulty Level: 2/5

Estimated Time to Complete: 15 minutes

Problem Statement: Cantilevered Glulam Roof Beam Design

The objective of this assignment is to identify the critical load combination for bending moment (+) in the design of a cantilevered glulam roofbeam.

Given Data:

• Glulam Type &  [Grade]: Balanced – West Species [24f-1.8E]
• Beam Size: 10-3/4” x 45”
• All supports: Glulam Colum – D. Fir-L. [16c-E]
• Specified Dead Load: 410 lb/ft
• Specified Snow Load: 680 lb/ft
• Load Duration: Standard
• Service Condition: Dry
• Lateral Support: At supports

Design Requirement:

Use the software to determine the critical load combination for bending moment (+) in the design of a cantilevered glulam roof beam.

Question 1
