I had calculated how much load a column bears, to compare it with the manufacturer's strength data.
For example, if a column bears 5 kN and the cross-section of the rule is 45x195 -> 5000/(0.045*0.195) = 5000/0.008775 = 0.57 MPa
If this value is less than the material's compressive strength/1.5, it should be fine.

obtained a calculated column load of 21.2KN on Moelven's website, but is that the actual load?
The glulam beam can handle 30KN/meter or point loads of 15KN with a plate or 20KN with 2 pieces.
have an 8-meter span for the trusses and a 2.5m opening on the long side where the trusses lay, and a heavy roof, i.e., plywood/tiles/insulation. The calculation would be 0.9KN m2, right? in snow zone 2.5.
In the dimensioning table for columns, all from 90x90 to 160x160 work for the height of the roof I have, but glulam over the door doesn't stop at the door but lies as an embedded bearing beam, so it should be considered as load per meter instead, right?
how much load can a 45x145 support if you replace the column with a pair of such combined? c24 is the quality.

What I am most interested in is whether it is considered a load or a point load. Moelven recommended a 66x315 beam and an optional pillar between 90x90 and 160x160 as all in between met the requirements. The load on the foundation is my dilemma as Moelven's website determined the load to be 21.2kN. The foundation can withstand 30/meter or 15/20kN point load with one or two plates.
