Timber Column Calculator

In this video, we walk you through designing Timber Column using tributary area loads, all in line with Eurocode 5 guidelines. We begin by selecting the right material and national annex, ensuring your starting point is solid and up to code. Next, we show you how to input the appropriate loads from the columns above as well as from the supported beam. We also cover the crucial step of adding lateral wind loads. As we progress, you’ll see how to optimize your column’s cross-section for both strength and efficiency.

At CLT Toolbox, we’re passionate about mass timber, it’s sustainable, innovative, and changing the way we build. We love how it packs strength, durability, and environmental benefits into one smart package. In our video, we break down the process with straightforward tips and clear explanations so you can put these methods into practice on your own projects. If you’re ready to move your design work into the future, stick around and let’s dive in together.
