Overview The 2010 Florida Structural Glued Laminated Timber Dimensions Code provides comprehensive guidelines for the dimensions and sizing of structural glued laminated timber (glulam) used in construction. This code includes specifications for the standard dimensions, tolerances, and allowable variations in glulam beams, columns, and other structural elements to ensure consistency, structural integrity, and safety in building projects.
The 2010 edition aligns with industry standards such as those from the American Institute of Timber Construction (AITC) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and it incorporates Florida-specific amendments to address the state’s unique environmental conditions and regulatory requirements. This code is essential for architects, engineers, contractors, and code officials involved in the design and construction of buildings using glulam in Florida.
