Loadings
Outward
Ult. outward wind load (Wuo) = 0.84 kPa
cpe = 0.65 cpi = 0.3 w.out* = 2.15 kN/m
Deflections
Ireq'd WLs.in (L/360) = 24.1 x10⁶ mm⁴ < Critical δWLs.in = 9.4 mm Span / 384
Ireq'd WLs.out (L/360) = 22.9 x10⁶ mm⁴ δWLs.out = 8.9 mm Span / 405
j2 = 2.0
Deflection limits
Double members:
Double members are not considered laminated.
Refer to AS1684.2 Cl 2.3 for requirements of
vertical lamination.
Laminated = Y (Y)es,(N)o
Importance:
Category 1 House failure affecting < 25m², secondary building element
Category 2 Building, house failure affecting > 25m²
Category 3 Important
Wind loads:
Wind loads are expressed as ultimate loads.
To calculate deflections, the ratio Ws/Wu is used.
Material constant:
Refer to Appendix E2
Factor for stress reversal takes r as 1
k4 factor:
Partial seasoning factor
Refer Cl 2.4.2.2 & 2.4.2.3 for more information.
k6 factor:
Refer Cl 2.4.3 if designing structures near coastal
regions of Queensland north of 25°S and all other
regions north of 16°S
Vertical deflection:
Is conservatively calculated on simply supported
deflections between supports.
Service class:
Service class defined in AS/NZS 1328.1 1998 Glued Laminated Structural Timber
1 - Domestic houses, Commerical Offices
2 - Open sheds, exposed beams under soffits, porches, laundries
3 - Marine structures, Bridges
S - Severe/Adverse requires specialist advice
