Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in version 10.1 and may not reflect current program behaviour.
The following changes have been made to the WoodWorks Database Editor program that is accessed from WoodWorks Sizer.
For all structural composite lumber (SCL) materials, and for Nordic Lam glulam, the unit for modulus of elasticity in the Grade Properties dialog was displayed as million psi, when the value shown is in megapascals. It now shows MPa.
For SCL materials, the input called Species Group has been renamed SCL Type to reflect what is shown in the dropdown list. The SCL type is used for Simpson Hanger design.
The following changes were made for cross laminated timber database files:
It is no longer possible to edit the actual or nominal widths b in the Section Properties, as 1000 mm metric width and 12" imperial width are standard sizes used for analysis and design of CLT panels, and not the width of the panel.
The symbol mm has been placed beside input of Longitudinal and Transverse thickness in the Section Properties. Previously no units were shown.
In the Grade Properties, a single value of rolling shear strength fs is entered rather than two values of shear strength fv for transverse and longitudinal orientations. Rolling shear fs is listed O86 Table 8.2.4 and is the same for both orientations. fs is used for shear resistance using 8.4.4.2, whereas fv had no direct design application. The value of
The units showing for Stock length in the Section Properties and have been changed to metres from feet. The value showing was in metres, 19.5 m for the default CLT database file.
The word outermost was misspelled as outemost in the checkbox for Double parallel outermost layers. This has been corrected.
