It is calculated using Eapparent in accordance with Appendix D of the 2018 NDS. When calculating Emin, the coefficient of modulus of elasticity, COVE, may be taken as , and the adjustment factor to convert E to a pure bending basis may be taken as * DESIGN properties are limited to dry conditions of use where the maximum moisture content of the material will not exceed 16%.

8 Effective column length is equal to actual column ) Allowable loads are based upon one-piece (solid) column members used in dry service conditions. BC Calc sizing software ( ) may be used for multi-piece column ) Allowable loads are based on an eccentricity value equal to multiplied by either the column thickness or width (worst case).4) Allowable loads are based on axial loaded columns using the DESIGN provisions of the 2018 National DESIGN Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction. Table capacity values based upon a buckling length coefficient, Ke, equal to (rotation free, translation fixed at each column end per NDS Appendix G).

9 A Ke coefficient of conservatively models typical wood column applications. For other end fixity conditions, contact Boise Cascade EWP Engineering. For side or other combined bending and axial loads, see provisions in 2018 ) Load values are not shown for short lengths due to loads exceeding common connector capacities. Load values are not shown for longer lengths if the controlling slenderness ratio exceeds 50 (per NDS).6) Lateral loads (wind loading) are not considered in this table.

10 Total Load values are limited by shear, moment or deflection equal to L/240. Total Load values are the capacity of the beam in addition to its own weight. Live Load values are limited by deflection equal to L/360. Check the local building code for other deflection limits that may apply. Where a Live Load value is not shown, the Total Load value will control. Table values represent the most restrictive of simple or multiple span applications. Span is measured center to center of the supports. Analyze multiple span beams with BC Calc soft ware if the length of any span is less than half the length of an adjacent span.
