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.
