Span values are in metres
Loading Data:
Dead Load of roof: Light Sheet Roof with no ceiling, maximum 20 kg/m2
(Covers standard light sheet roofing materials, for roof pitch maximum 35deg)
Wind Load taken as N2/C2 in accordance with AS 4055 Wind Loads for Housing
ETH LAM GL beams are manufactured straight, without any camber built into the beams.
Notes:
- Minimum bearing lengths for support of rafters: 35mm on end supports, and 45mm internal supports.
- The span value shown is the distance between centrelines of supports.
- For continuous spans, the adjacent rafter spans may be different, but look up the larger of the spans, and the shorter span must be more than 50% of the larger span. If this rule is not met, then consider the rafters are simply supported, and look up the larger span in the single span table.
- Deflection criteria: for dead load, the lesser of Span/300, or 20mm, and for Roof Live Loads, Span/250.
- Where there are conflicts in design between loading codes (AS/NZS1170 series), timber code (AS1720.1-2010) and AS1684.1-1999, the loading codes and timber codes take preference.
The above span table values have been designed in accordance with the following codes:
- AS1720.1-2010 Timber Design Code
- AS1170.0, .1, .2-2002 Loading Codes for Limit State design, Live Loads, and Wind Loads respectively.
- AS1684.1-1999 Design Criteria for Residential Timber Framing.
