Structural glued laminated timber (glulam) is a material that combines the warmth and beauty of wood with modern engineering to create structures for the most demanding applications. From short-span headers and beams in residential construction, to graceful exposed arches and curved beams in churches, to long span beams and trusses for commercial spaces, glulam has the answer.
This three-hour course will provide the timber engineer with the knowledge necessary to properly detail connections to minimize the occurrence of member failure modes at connections. Procedures for the evaluations of connections loaded in the parallel-to-grain and perpendicular-to-grain directions will be presented. While the focus of this course is structural glued laminated timber, the principles taught are applicable to solid sawn lumber and other engineered wood products, as well.
This course builds on the knowledge obtained from previous courses Glued Laminated Timber Fundamentals; Glued Laminated Timber Design Values, Adjustment Factors, and Beam Design; and Glued Laminated Timber Connection Design Overview. It is recommended that the student prepare for this course by reviewing the material presented in the earlier courses.
