What is Glulam Weight?

Glulam weight refers to the weight of a glulam (glued laminated timber) beam, which is calculated based on its dimensions and a specific density factor. Glulam beams are commonly used in construction for their strength and versatility.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ GLW = 10 \times 1 \times 0.5 \times 40.5782 = 202.89 \text{ lbs} \]

The glulam weight is 202.89 lbs.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ GLW = 20 \times 2 \times 1 \times 40.5782 = 1623.13 \text{ lbs} \]

The glulam weight is 1623.13 lbs.
