Problem Statement: Glulam Column
This assignment aims to evaluate if a column meets the resistance requirements.
Given Data:
- Glulam Type & [Grade]: S-P-F [12c-E]
- Column height: 9m
- Column Size: 175 (b) × 266 (d) mm
- The column is pinned at both ends
- 2 lateral supports along the width “b”, so Lb = 3 m along “b”
- 1 lateral support along the depth “d”, so Lb = 4.5 m along “d”
- Specified Dead Load: 50 kN
- Specified Live Load: 75 kN
- Service Condition: Dry
- Untreated Lumber
Design Requirement:
Use the software to check if the column meets ULS requirements under the specified dead and live loads in compression, bending and shear.
Select the most appropriate answer based on the software output and standard design requirements.
