5. Use these values when the SuperiorLam LVL beam is supported by a wall
plate, sill plate, timber or built-up girder.
6. Use these values when the SuperiorLam LVL beam is supported by the end
of a column or connection hardware.
7. The support member must be sized to carry the load from the
SuperiorLam LVL beam.
Notes:
1. This technical note applies only to uniformly loaded, simple and multiple span
SuperiorLam LVL beams. Beams that carry concentrated loads, or cantilevered
beams, are outside the scope of this technical note.
2. Square and rectangular holes are not permitted.
3. Round holes may be drilled or cut with a hole saw anywhere within the shaded
area of the SuperiorLam LVL beam.
4. The horizontal distance between adjacent holes must be at least two times the
size of the larger hole. This restriction also applies to the location of access
holes relative to bolt holes in multi-ply SuperiorLam LVL beams.
5. Do not drill more than three access holes in any four foot long section of
SuperiorLam LVL beam.

7. These limitations apply to holes drilled for plumbing or wiring access only. The
size and location of holes drilled for fasteners are governed by the provisions of

HOW TO USE THE MAXIMUM UNIFORM SIDE LOAD TABLE


EXAMPLE:
2.0E SUPERIORLAM LVL beam loaded from both sides and above
THREE 1 PLIES (CONDITION B)
1. Use allowable load tables or sizing software to size the SuperiorLam LVL
beam to carry a total load of (300 + 610 + 550) = 1460 plf.
2. Refer to the 2.0E SuperiorLam LVL table for beam assembly
requirements. Refer to the Condition B row in the table. Scan across the
Condition B row from left to right for a table value greater than 550 plf,
which is the greatest side load carried by the beam. The fourth value in
the row indicates that 3 rows of 16d common nails at 12 o.c. will
accommodate a side load of 570 plf which is greater than the 550 plf
required. Use 3 rows of 16d common nails at 12 o.c., from both sides,
to assemble the beam.

Notes:
1. SuperiorLam LVL beam sizes are listed as the number of 1 thick pieces
by the beam depth, e.g. 2 9 indicates two 1 pieces by 9 deep.
2. SuperiorLam LVL beam sizes are based on continuous floor joist spans
and simple or continuous beam spans.
If the floor joists are not continuous, it is permissible to consider a Total
Floor Joist Span A that is equal to 0.8 times the actual A dimension.
3. The minimum required end and intermediate bearing lengths (based on
850 psi) are 3 and 7 respectively unless the + symbol is shown. In
that case, 4 and 10 end and intermediate bearing lengths are
required.

This table provides SuperiorLam LVL beam sizes


for center support of one level of floor framing
over various column spacings. Where floor joists
are continuous over the beam, this table applies
only when the A span is between 45% and 55%
of the building width.

4. All SuperiorLam LVL beams require support across their full width.
5. SuperiorLam LVL beam sizes are based on residential floor loading of
40 psf live load and 10 psf dead load. The roof framing must be trusses
supported by the exterior walls only.
6. Deflection is limited to L/360 at live load and L/240 at total load.

Notes:
1. SuperiorLam LVL header sizes are listed as the number of 1 thick
pieces by the header depth, e.g. 2 9 indicates two 1 pieces by
9 deep.
2. SuperiorLam LVL header sizes are based on the assumption that the
floor joists are supported in the middle of the building by a beam or wall.
3. The minimum required bearing length (based on 850 psi) is
3 unless the + symbol is shown. In that case, 4 is required.

B
Rough
Opening

This table provides SuperiorLam LVL header sizes


for the support of one level of floor framing, an
exterior wall and roof trusses over various rough
openings. A 2 foot maximum roof overhang and
center support for the floor framing are assumed.

4. All SuperiorLam LVL headers require support across their full width. Use
2x4 cripples for two piece headers and 2x6 cripples for three piece
headers.
5. SuperiorLam LVL header sizes are based on residential floor loading of
40 psf live load and 10 psf dead load. The roof framing must be trusses
supported by the exterior walls only.
6. Deflection is limited to L/360 at live load and the lesser of L/240 or
at total load.

Key to Table:
LL = Maximum live load limits deflection to L/360
TL = Maximum total load limits deflections to L/240 (or a maximum of 0.3125 for beams 7 deep or less)
BRG = Required end / intermediate bearing length (inches), based on bearing stress of 850 psi.

* Can be applied to the SUPERIORLAM LVL beam in addition to its own weight.
Simple or multiple SUPERIORLAM LVL beam spans
Key to Table:
LL = Maximum live load limits deflection to L/360
TL = Maximum total load limits deflections to L/240 (or a maximum of 0.3125 for beams 7 deep or less)
BRG = Required end / intermediate bearing length (inches), based on bearing stress of 850 psi.

* Can be applied to the SUPERIORLAM LVL beam in addition to its own weight.
Simple or multiple SUPERIORLAM LVL beam spans
Key to Table:
LL = Maximum live load limits deflection to L/360
TL = Maximum total load limits deflections to L/240 (or a maximum of 0.3125 for beams 7 deep or less)
BRG = Required end / intermediate bearing length (inches), based on bearing stress of 850 psi.

* Can be applied to the SUPERIORLAM LVL beam in addition to its own weight.
Simple or multiple SUPERIORLAM LVL beam spans
Key to Table:
LL = Maximum live load limits deflection to L/360
TL = Maximum total load limits deflections to L/240 (or a maximum of 0.3125 for beams 7 deep or less)
BRG = Required end / intermediate bearing length (inches), based on bearing stress of 850 psi.
