GL-80SECTION PROPERTIES9.1 Cross Sectional PropertiesCross sectional properties are provided for glued laminatedtimber manufactured from Western species in Table9.1 and from Southern Pine in Table 9.2. These tables listthe beam depths; the reference and actual beam widths,the cross-sectional areas, moments of inertia, sectionmoduli and radii of gyration. Note that the plane of theglueline is in the X-X direction. Further, the width of gluedlaminated timber is in the X-X direction and its depth isin the Y-Y direction. The thickness of each lamination providedhere for Western species and Southern Pine gluedlaminated timber members is based on 1-1/2 and 1-3/8inches, respectively. However, other lamination thicknessesmay be used in glued laminated timber manufacturing andthe availability shall be verified prior to design.APA – The Engineered Wood Association
