2. LVL STRUCTURES IN FLOORS, WALLS, ROOFS AND IN SPECIAL APPLICATIONS 2.4.9 LVL-C panel walls In addition to panel bracing, LVL-C panels can be used in walls for carrying vertical loads as a combined structure together with timber frame studs. When multiple-glued to provide more robust GLVL panel thicknesses or if the LVL-C panels are part of a glued sandwich structure with rigid insulation, they may form the main load-bearing structure. LVL-C panels may contribute to providing EI or K class fire protection for walls. For the required panel thicknesses, see the tables in Sections 6.3 and 6.4. Figure 2.75.
