9. CALCULATION EXAMPLES OF LVL STRUCTURES The stiffness (EI)bracing of the bracing lines can be estimated according to EN1995-1-1, Annex B Mechanically jointed beams. For simplification, also the top flange of the transverse bracing is modelled as a 22x100 C14 board and the stiffness of the 2 bracing lines are divided for the whole floor span length.

The performance can be improved by transverse bracing by 2 blockings lines with tension boards close to the centre of the span and cross battens 45x45 c/c 400 mm underneath the floor. =���9,5Hz� −1� ∙ �4,5m� ∙ 3,11∙ 10 Nm /m� =11 = 4 (0,4+ 0,6 40) + 200 = 4 (0,4+ 0,6∙ 11) 120∙ 5∙ 4,5 + 200 = 0,010 ≤150( 1 −1) =0,011→ (4.78) =min� ∙ 2 42∙ ∙( )l ∙ 3 48∙ ∙( )l (4.82) =�( )b ( )l = 4 �3,11∙103 1,79∙106 4 =0,2 (4.84) =min ⎩⎪ ⎨ ⎪⎪⎧ 1kN∙ (4,5m)2 42∙ 0,2∙ 1,79∙ 106Nm2 m 1kN∙ (4,5m)3 48∙ 0,4∙ 1,79∙ 106Nm2 m =min�1,3 mm 2,7 mm = 1,3 mm ( )bracing = ∙ 2∙ 0,mean ∙ � 0 ∙ ℎ 0 3 12 + ∙ 0 ∙ ℎ0 ∙ (ℎ/2+ℎ0/2)2� 0 ser = k 1,5 ∙ 0,8 30 = 454 N/mm = 1 1+ 2 ∙ 0 ∙ ℎ0 ∙ 0 ∙ 0 ser ∙ 0 2 = 1 1+π2 ∙ 7000 N/mm2 ∙ 22 mm∙ 100 mm∙ 200 mm 454N/mm∙ (5000 mm)2 =min ⎩⎪ ⎨ ⎪⎪⎧ 1kN∙ (4,5m)2 42∙ 0,2∙ 1,79∙ 106Nm2 m 1kN∙ (4,5m)3 48∙ 0,4∙ 1,79∙ 106Nm2 m =min�1,3 mm 2,7 mm = 1,3 mm ( )bracing = ∙ 2∙ 0,mean ∙ � 0 ∙ ℎ 0 3 12 + ∙ 0 ∙ ℎ0 ∙ (ℎ/2+ℎ0/2)2� 0 ser = k 1,5 ∙ 0,8 30 = 454 N/mm = 1 1+ 2 ∙ 0 ∙ ℎ0 ∙ 0 ∙ 0 ser ∙ 0 2 = 1 1+π2 ∙ 7000 N/mm2 ∙ 22 mm∙ 100 mm∙ 200 mm 454N/mm∙ (5000 mm)2 1.
