Design & Verification of a GLT Beam Notch According to EC5 with CLT Toolbox
The key question: does the reduced cross-section provide enough capacity, or is reinforcement with screws required?
Here’s what we covered in this video:
– How to check notch capacity using EC5
– When and how to use reinforcement screws based on ETA data from suppliers
– Introduction to screw geometry inputs
– How screw position, orientation, and quantity can optimise the design
A practical guide to achieving safe and efficient timber connections. Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences with similar designs!
