Lesson 2 Assessment

Difficulty Level: 2/5

Estimated Time to Complete: 15 minutes


Problem Statement: Cantilevered Glulam Roof Beam Design

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

Leçon 2 Évaluation

Given Data:

  • Glulam Type &  [Grade]: D. Fir-L. [20f-EX] 
  • Beam Size: 265 x 1178 mm 
  • All supports: Glulam Colum – D. Fir-L. [16c-E] 
  • Specified Dead Load: 6 kN/m 
  • Specified Snow Load: 10 kN/m 
  • Load Duration: Standard 
  • Service Condition: Dry 
  • Lateral Support: None 

Design Requirement:

Use the software to determine the critical load combination for bending moment (+) in the design of a cantilevered glulam roof beam. You will then answer a multiple choice question and submit your design.


Question 1

Select the most appropriate answer based on the software output and standard design requirements.
