BOISE GLULAM® Beams Floor Load Tables • Uniform PLF load values are limited by shear, moment, total load deflection limited to L/240 and live load deflection limited to L/360.
Tables 2, 3, 8 and 9 provide allowable loads for glulam beams used as simple span roof members for non‑snow loads (DOL factor = 1.25) and in snow load areas (DOL factor = 1.15).
Tables 2, 3, 8 and 9 provide allowable loads for glulam beams used as simple span roof members for non‑snow loads (DOL factor = 1.25) and in snow load areas (DOL factor = 1.15).
1. SPAN is the on-center distance between supports and is valid for simple span applications. 2. Dry-use conditions. 3. Total load deflection limit = Span/240. 4. Live load ≤ 0.67 x Total load 5. Full lateral support on the compression side. 6.
Tables 2, 3, 8 and 9 provide allowable loads for glulam beams used as simple span roof members in snow load areas (DOL factor = 1.15) and for non-snow loads (DOL factor = 1.25).
Tabulated total load (TL) is based on the deflection criterion of span/240. Tabulated total load (TL) is in addition to beam weight (assumed 35 pcf). Selected beam size shall satisfy both live load and total load. "--" indicates the allowable load is smaller than 50 plf. Blank live load indicates the live load is greater than the toal load.
