NDS Glulam Tables 5A to 5D are not consistent with Appendix D with respect to the calculation procedure for E'min, the modulus of elasticity used for the beam stability factor CL. The NDS Tables use the equation in D-4 in NDS appendix D with a value of 1.03 to convert E' to E'min, that is, they do not use the 1.05 value for glulam specified there. The program uses the correct 1.05 value, creating a small discrepancy between the lateral stability calculated using the published table values and the Sizer Software.
