![]() I calculated the load on the bolts by dividing the applied moment by the approximate 8-inch moment arm of the force couple between splice fasteners in tension and compression, which resulted in the requirement for an absorbatent number of fasteners makeing the splice unfeasible.ĭoes anyone have a suggestion as to an alternative for splicing this beam? Another suggestion for theory in transfering loads across the joined members? Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Generally, I had planned to sister a new LVL of similar properties to the back side of the existing joist. The other side of the beam is unencombered. Its is supported by light gage hanger secured into the area I need to remove. Note another LVL perpidicularly frames flush into the one of concern in the area of deterioration. ![]() Subsequently, he asked me if he could simply remove the outer 6-feet and splice on a new section. It is the contractors desire to leave as much of the existing beam in place as possible due to its situation over HVAC, electrical, etc. The last 6' of the beam has been significantly deteriorated by water damage. By using these tables you can find the most optimal cross-sections for the structures. The tables below describe the most common measurements according to local requirements for different Kerto LVL structures in floors, roofs and walls. Calculator is for use in Canada applications only. Span tables for Kerto® LVL beams, panels, studs and I-joists help designers work faster and more efficiently. ![]() I have an existing LVL 14"x3.5" with a span of 18'. Use the drop downs below to select your loading, house width, and material to calculate the appropriate size of TimberStrand or Parallam ridge beam. ![]()
