over theMenai Straitin northwestern Wales. At the time of its completion in 1826, its 174-metre (580-foot) span was the world’s longest. In 1893 its timber deck was replaced with a steel deck, and in 1940 steel chains replaced the corroded wrought-iron ones. The bridge is still in ...
Timber is a sustainable construction material and is increasingly being used in larger structures with large-span beams. The defection limit state often governs the design of these beams, making the accurate estimation of beam deflections essential for their economic design. However, timber beam end ...
Framing tables for buildings, roofs, floors, porches & decks: joist & beam spans & sizes. Recommended or allowable joist & beam spans: this article explains typical spans for joists, beams, and flooring, giving both standard span tables and a quick "rule of thumb" that works pretty well....

Glulamis made from long, parallel pieces of wood glued together with adhesives. The planks can be bent and curved, are strongerin tensionthan in compression, and are pound for poundstronger than steel. Typical uses include structural posts, columns, and beams. Glulam’s ability to span large ...
1.1 as static single-span-, or rather multiple-span sys- tems, are used in order to pass on vertical action to panels, floor beams and columns (out-of-plane panel behaviour). On the other hand, they are used as ri...

The failure modes that caused rupture of the beams were equally divided between tensile, compression and shear failures. The goal of the study was to develop a hybrid beam for application in a pedestrian bridge with excellent mechanical properties and high durability when exposed to outdoor ...
Such delayed emissions are especially important for mass timber products such as CLT and glulam beams because the functional life of such products can be much longer than other traditional wood products. In all the mass timber buildings designed in this study, carbon storage is greater than the ...
Figure 4 shows an image of the cross-section of one of the extremes of the tested beams where the distribution of the growth rings can be observed. The bottom face of each image corresponds to the tensile stressed face (i.e., the bottom face) during the bending test. All the timber be...
