glulam

Other examples of 19th-century British glulam have also been identified.

In other words, the glulam portal frame was born.

The life cycle greenhouse gas emission is lower for the glulam beams.

Glulam can also be produced in curved shapes, offering extensive design flexibility.

The roof is supported by treated Glulam timber beams.

Glulam optimizes the structural values of a renewable resource - wood.

The cost of the glulam beams is slightly lower than the steel beams.

Sports structures are a particularly suitable application for wide-span glulam roofs.

This allowed glulam to be used in exposed exterior environments without concern of gluline degradation.

A total of 34 yellow-cedar glulam posts support the overhangs where the roof extends beyond the walls.

The following CEN standards are relevant to the topic of glulam.

The main roof comprises glulam arches, tied by steel tension members at their springing points.

If they are landfilled, the glulam beams result in greater greenhouse gas emissions than the steel beams.

A significant development in the glulam industry was the introduction of fully water-resistant phenol-resorcinol adhesive in 1942.

The roof includes 2,400 cubic metres of Douglas-fir lamstock lumber in glulam beams.

Glulam can be manufactured to a variety of straight and curved configurations so it offers architects artistic freedom without sacrificing structural requirements.

The PostFinance Arena is an example of a wide-span sports stadium roof using glulam arches reaching up to 85 metres.

Because of their composition, large glulam members can be manufactured from a variety of smaller trees harvested from second- and third-growth forests and plantations.

Pressure-treated glulam timbers or timbers manufactured from naturally durable wood species are well suited for creating bridges and waterfront structures.

An example in North America of a glulam bridge is at Keystone Wye, South Dakota, constructed in 1966 - 1967.

Glued laminated timber (glulam) has greater strength and stiffness than comparable dimensional lumber and, pound for pound, is stronger than steel.

In 1909, the Swiss engineering consultants Terner & Chopard purchased permission to use Hetzer's patent, and employed glulam in a number of projects.

The first U.S. manufacturing standard for glulam was Commercial Standard CS253-63, which was published by the Department of Commerce in 1963.

Significant interior surface treatments also include off-form concrete, Australian white birch plywood supplied from Wauchope in northern New South Wales, and brush box glulam.

Hetzer continued to patent various ingenious systems, but the first of these that could be compared with subsequently standardised horizontal glulam was DRP No. 197773, dated 1906.
