Fastening glulam beam

[OS1]

Hello.

I have plans to open up a three-meter opening in the facade. A glulam beam is dimensioned, but I'm a bit concerned about the fastening.

My idea is to screw it on the inside and fasten it to each column with two through bolts. There will be two columns that are cut and then fastened to a total of four, including the two load-bearing ones.

Does this sound like a normal procedure?

Regards

If you mean that the glulam beam is only supported by a few screws, I would be hesitant; you want the load to be taken straight down in a "pillar" or standing stud. I would notch the studs so that the glulam beam also fits "into" them.
Or reinforce the standing "pillars" with extra standing studs under the glulam beam.

I would notch the studs so that the glulam beam comes "into" them as well. Or reinforce the standing "columns" with extra standing studs under the glulam beam.

That's about what I suspected. I was thinking of two posts next to the columns that will be kept so that the load is taken directly down to the ends of the glulam beam. How much should I notch? They are 100x100. Will 50mm be good?

That's roughly what I suspected. I had planned two posts beside the columns that should be retained so that the load is taken directly down into the ends of the glulam beam. How much should I notch? They are 100x100. Is 50mm good?

Sounds good to me - but I'm not a structural engineer.
