Subject
It is required to select a suitable cross-section for
to support an axial load of 76.0 kN. The column
ends. Full lateral restraint is provided about the
internal column in an unheated warehouse which

Material propenies for glued laminated timber are given in prEN 1194, and in Table 2 of
the Introduction to the Design Examples. GL24 has a stiffness similar to that of LB grade

By inspection, the short-term load case, in which both permanent and short-term actions
are applied, is critical.
Estimation
of trial cross-section
Standard &dam cross-sections are given in Table 5 of the Introduction to the Design
Examples. A trial cross-section will be chosen such that the design value of the
compression stress is half the design compression strength, making no allowance for
buckling.

Cross-section
adequate for
axial loads
Since the compression stress ratio is so close to 1.0, it is obvious that a smaller crosssection would be inadequate. The trial cross-section of 65 X IS0 mm is therefore suitable.
In the complete design of a column inside a warehouse, it would be necessary to consider
also the eflects of accidental impact, and a larger cross-section might then prove to be
necessary.
