Example of a bending member: ‘Types of wood Lay-up Strength classes Gluing TECHNICAL DATA Li mastertine consists of at least 3 lamellas glued together with the grain of the lamelias lov gitudinaly parallel. Glulam is normally stressed in bending, so that the highest stresses arise inthe tensile and compression zone. The layered construction of glulam allows lamellas to be used in the various elastomechsanical zones of the beam according to their quality (streng’h sorting). Thus the high-quality lamellas of a bending beam are laid across the beam height in the tensile and compression zone according to the stress curve. The middle layers can have a lower lamella strength. or = Sess une = Spruce (Picea abies) / Fir (Abies alba) from domestic forests Siberian Larch available in our stock beam delivery program, domestic Larch upon request © = combined symmetrical = homogeneous (L1 masterline standard) (upon request only) Serre) Strength _Lay-up Availabilty Availabilty Availability class, from Reuthe from Gaishorn from Richen ‘ ° au a i 7 y z ; ew rset oLz0 : e c v v DIN 1052-2008 CLs2 e ° ’ cuss g Melamine resin-based adhesive, Adhesive Type I in ace. with EN 301, approved for ghing Joad-bearing timber components both for interiors and exteriors.TECHNICAL DATA Colour of glued joints Lamella thicknesses Moisture content Density ‘Thermal conductivity Diffusion resistance Emissions Reaction to fire Fire resistance Shrinkage and swelling behaviour Light-coloured glue lines (melarmine adhesive) Dark-coloured glue lines for custom glueing The lamella thickness depends on the curvature of the component (radius) as well as the climatological conditions. ‘Straight components: Lamelia thickness d ~ 40 mm (gpplies to Service Classes 1 and 2 onty) ‘+ Curved components: Lamella thickness 4 = r/200 ‘+ For extreme climate conditions, for example direct exposure to the weather or surlight _a8 well as high demands due to the type of use (bakeries, car wash facilities or compost- ing halls), smaller lamelia thicknesses should be selected, 10-12% (+ /- 2%) on delivery Approx. 450 kg/m 2.= 0,13 W/(mk} parelle to the glue lines 2.= 0.15 W/{mk} vertical to the glue lines n= 20-40 Class £1 Lt masterline clearly falls below the limit values of emission class €1 (< 0.1 ppm HCHO) Glulam Classification: = 100 roe $%0 ‘Acc. to EN 13501: 5.55 | \ 22xeeacvonasomn Smoke Class $2 = 50 soy reducon-550°C Drop Cless 0 : a sheet “ex S#BINAIOA: = 0 20% edvton©20 in 2 (standard inflammable) Time (min) 10 20 30 40 80 Charting rate 0,7 mm / min Timber isa natural building material, It can both absorb and release moisture, The equlibrium moisture content of the component depends on the climatic conditions of the envirowment. To avoid changes in the member dimension, the timber moisture content should be matched at the intended installation ste. Glulam is produced with a timber moisture content of approx. 10 - 12%. This corresponds to the equilibrium moisture content at a room temperature of 20°C and a relative humidity of 65%, Glulam has an average shrinkage and swelling dimension in height and width of o,.=0,24% per 1% change in timber moisture content (Au).

However, because of machine tolerances and the natural behaviour of timber, there may be ‘minor deviations vihich mean specific dimensional tolerances must be taken into account. The dimensional tolerances for glulam are governed by EN 390, ‘The reference moisture content is 12%: Cross-section width 50 mm 20m Length tolerance +/-2mm 4/018 + /-20mn ive ‘Arched component Without CNC machining With CNC machining Angle Max. deviation 4% of width ‘To exact dimension Width and height Max. deviation 1% To exact dimension Deviation of rise Up to +/-2 mm per metre To exact dimension arched length Note When CNC special joinery is involved in the manufacture of curved components the glam blank is produced with a surplus and then cut to the exact size on the CNC custom jcinery machine. This means we are able to guarantee the absolute dimensional accuracy of the ind vidual curve and each piece within a series of components ordered with CNC custom jonery. ‘As @ result of the natural tendency of the wood to shrink and swel, shrinkage cracks may ‘occur depending on the ambient conditions. The outer layers of the component can absorbs ‘moisture especialy during the construction phase, To avoid shrinkage cracks, this timber moisture content must be gradually converted to the equilibrium moisture content through ‘appropriate ventilation and careful heating of the building, Shrinkage cracks may appear on the surfaces ofthe glulam components, even along the glue lines. Such shrinkage cracks may be tolerated up to a depth of 1/6 of the beam width (per side) in members without systermrelevant transverse tensile stress, ‘The tendency to crack formation increases with direct exposure to the weather and fre ‘quently changing climatic conditions,
