We support the utilization of wood products by developing and disseminating consensus standards, comprehensive technical guidelines, and tools for wood design and construction, as well as providing education regarding their application.
Wood Columns - Safe Loads - The Engineering ToolBox
Safe loads for Wood Columns - No.1 grade Douglas fir-larch: According the diagram above - the safe loads for 4x4 Douglas Fir-Larch Columns with lengths 7.5 feet (2.5 m) are approximately 8 kips (35.6 kN, 3624 kgf). Deflection and stress in beams and columns, moment of inertia, section modulus and technical information.

Designing Built-Up Columns - Simpson Strong-Tie Site
Columns can be classified into solid columns, built-up columns and spaced columns. Solid columns are single members or individual members glued together to act as one solid member. Mechanically laminated built-up columns are formed by fastening two or more members with bolts, nails or screws.
A new publication entitled Structural Wood Design Using ASD and LRFD is being developed as a companion design tool to the 2005 National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction. It will be available beginning in the Spring of 2005 through the American Forest & Paper Associ-ation (AF&PA).
Design of a Wood Column by a Professional Engineer - YouTube
Step by step instructions on how to properly design a wood column. We also touch on loading criteria, proper codes to use, and a walk-through of each code so...
In order to determine the loads on a beam (or girder, joist, column, frame, foundation...) we can start at the top of a structure and determine the tributary area that a load acts over and the beam needs to support. Loads come from material weights, people, and the environment.
The old column formulas of the 1986 National Design Specification for Wood Construction are compared with the new 1991 column formulas. The new design method is considered to be more conservative; a change that is neces sitated by recent column test data.
