We have received water damage in the house where sills and beam frames need to be replaced.

The beam frames were previously LVL 45x300, now they are building studs of plywood sheets standing on edge, see image below.

Plywood sheets installed vertically as beams in a house structure, replacing old LVL beams, discussed in context of structural strength and risk factors.

Do these new studs provide the same load-bearing capacity as LVL? Are there any other risks with the new construction?

No one has any opinions?

At least it feels good that no one "completely tears apart" this solution at least... ;)
 
I don't know what LVL is, but plywood is 50% wood in the wrong direction, if that's been taken into account, then OK
