Fine glulam beam

[ordain]

Just have to show the beautiful glulam beam they put up during the frame erection (on day 2, see the website for more pictures).

It's a shame that the beauty won't be visible. When you're up there, it really feels enormous

Hahah, I could probably start a thread like this, so YES sure, it looked massive and splendid, congratulations!!

Stuff like this must be encouraged!

I can contribute with my modestly sized beam, only 400x115. 6 meters long.

Fun that I'm not the only one fascinated by such monsters

Have you seen the roof of Oslo's Gardermoen Airport? Truly an impressive glulam structure. The biggest glulam beam there is 4.2 meters high at its highest point! Must cost quite a bit.

@MathiasS
What is your glulam beam supposed to support, it looks more like the wooden joist is supporting the glulam beam?

Maybe it's a design feature to make the attic look nicer?

 

[MathiasS]

Maybe it's a decorative element to make the attic more beautiful?

Exactly!

But it's not only stylish in the attic; the ends are also supported on load-bearing walls resting on the foundation wall. Additionally, all the lower arms of the trusses are anchored to the glulam beam with double angle brackets and seven million anchor screws. Instead of having the beam underneath with the load resting on top, the load is allowed to hang below. About 6m of wall was thrown out, so to be on the safe side, we "threw up" a small beam.

For those interested in measurements, mine is 115x600, but I don't know the length exactly, I'll have to check it, but it's about 11 meters we're talking about.

Your beam is actually a bit puny, but you definitely get style points for the gigantic crane!

Brag moderately. Here comes 400x115x14000! At the top!



;D

Good there... then I know I haven't under-dimensioned at least...

I don't have a picture of mine but it is 115x630 and about 19 meters long.
In fact, so long that it is spliced at one point but the longest piece is 13 meters.
Half of it is built-in but the lower part is visible.
