(1) Risk of cracks due to the tension in perpendicular to grain 33. hd is the height of the hole for rectangular holes. For round holes hd = 0,7d may be used in the equation (4.59).

Detailed design instructions are given e.g. in chapter F3.2 of the Austrian ÖNORM B 1995-1-1:2015 33. As LVL beams are thin, internal reinforcement with screws or glued-in-rods is not recommended. t,90,d = d∙ℎd 4∙ℎ ∙ �3−�ℎdℎ �2� +0,008∙ dℎr (4.59) ℎr =� min(ℎro; ℎru) for rectangular holes min(ℎro +0,15∙ ; ℎro +0,15∙ ) for round holes (4.60) t,90 = �0,5∙ (ℎd +ℎ) for rectangular holes 0,35∙ +0,5∙ ℎ for round holes (4.61) d = τ ∙ 1,5 ∙ d ∙ (ℎ−ℎd) ≤ v,d (4.62) τ =1,85∙ �1+ ℎ� ∙ �ℎdℎ �0,2 (4.63) t, , ∙ � ∙ r ; ∙ ; ∙ t, ∙ ∙ ∙ , ∙ ∙ ( ) ≤ , ℎ , d n + o,d o m,d ≤1 (4.64) d n + u,d u m,d ≤1 (4.65) where n = ∙ �ℎ2−ℎd2 6 � (4.66) o,d = o ∙ d ∙ d n + o,d o m,d ≤1 d n + u,d u m,d ≤1 n = ∙ �ℎ2−ℎd2 6 � o,d = o u+ o ∙ d ∙ 2 u,d = u u+ o ∙ d ∙ 2 o = ∙ ℎro and o = ∙ ℎr2 o 6 u = ∙ ℎru and u = ∙ ℎr2 u 6 d n m,d ≤1 d n + o,d o m,d 1 d n + u,d u m,d 1 n ∙ �ℎ2−ℎd2 o,d o u+ o ∙ d ∙ 2 u,d u u+ o ∙ d ∙ 2 o ∙ ℎro and o ∙ ℎr2 o 6 u ∙ ℎru and u ∙ ℎr2 u 6 d n m,d 1 d n o,d o , d n u,d u , , + ∙ 2 , + ∙ 2 ∙ ℎ ∙ ℎ d n , d n + o,d o m,d ≤1 d n + u,d u m,d ≤1 where n = ∙ �ℎ2−ℎd2 6 � o,d = o u+ o ∙ d ∙ 2 u,d = u u+ o ∙ d ∙ 2 o = ∙ ℎro and o = ∙ ℎr2 o 6 u = ∙ ℎru and u = ∙ ℎr2 u 6 d n m,d ≤1 d n + o,d o m,d ≤1 d n + u,d u m,d ≤1 where n = ∙ �ℎ2−ℎd2 6 � o,d = o u+ o ∙ d ∙ 2 u,d = u u+ o ∙ d ∙ 2 o = ∙ ℎro and o = ∙ ℎr2 o 6 u = ∙ ℎru and u = ∙ ℎr2 u 6 d n m,d ≤1 d n + o,d o m,d ≤1 d n + u,d u m,d ≤1 where n = ∙ �ℎ2−ℎd2 6 � o,d = o u+ o ∙ d ∙ 2 u,d = u u+ o ∙ d ∙ 2 o = ∙ ℎro and o = ∙ ℎr2 o 6 u = ∙ ℎru and u = ∙ ℎr2 u 6 d n m,d ≤1 d n o,d o , d n u,d u , , + ∙ 2 , + ∙ 2 ∙ ℎ ∙ ℎ d n , Figure 4.26.
