Safe Load Table
Symbols used in table are as follows:
Fb = Allowable unit stress in extreme fiber in bending, psi.
W = Total uniformly distributed load, pounds
w = Load per linear foot of beam, pounds
Fv = Horizontal shear stress, psi, induced by load W
E = Modulus of elasticity, 1000 psi induced by load W for l/360 limit


Beam fabricated from LVL microlam laminated veneer lumber offer a versatile, economical and efficient alternative to structural timbers and beams. LVL lumber is better, because it is always uniform and defect-free.
