    Analysis tools for 2-span continuous glulam beam with cantilever span at one end?

    You are correct. I then input 10,000' instead of 300', and that brought the moment at the end of the 4' cantilever to near zero, but it distorted the graphs. So I suggest to use the very large span to get the correct values, and the smaller span to view the graphs if desired.

    Truss Design Software

    Medeek, Amazing stuff - how do you find the time to do all this! Truss companies here include load for heating/AC units. There are checks for bearing stress perpendicualr to grain where bottom chord on support such as 2x4 wall. Wind design for construction case where TCDL=5 psf and BCDL=5...

    Development Length

    You can reduce the development length by the ratio Calculated Factored tension/ Allowable Factored tension. ie actual stress divided by allowable stress

    Analysis tools for 2-span continuous glulam beam with cantilever span at one end?

    Aellc I got another idea - I tried this and it seems to work - Input as 3-span on Beamanal - all pinned - spans of 21.2',12.1',300' (yes 300) Place concentrated load at end as located 4' to right of support 3, and any uniform load 0' to 4' to right of support 3 - that gives very close...

    Analysis tools for 2-span continuous glulam beam with cantilever span at one end?

    AELLC I am new to these forums (fora?) but I noticed you mentioned Beamanal in another thread. You can input a 2-span, pinned support, continuous beam model,and then input a moment at the end support where you have the cantilever,and add a concentrated load there also.
