Question 1

What sizes does Dindas Australia LVL come in?

Accepted Answer

Calcs.com carries 37 Dindas Australia sections across LVL 13.2 and LVL 14. Depths run from 90 mm to 400 mm (90, 120, 130, 140, 150, 170, 190, 200, 240, 290, 300, 360, 400 mm), in breadths of 35, 45, 63, 75 mm. Every one of those sections is selectable in the calculators listed on this page.

Question 2

Is there a span table for Dindas Australia LVL?

Accepted Answer

This page publishes section properties and characteristic values, not allowable spans. A span is not a property of the section: it depends on the loads you apply, the member spacing, and the deflection limit you design to, so the same section spans different distances on different jobs. Rather than reading a span off a generic table, select the Dindas Australia section in a Calcs.com calculator and enter your actual loads. The calculator checks bending, shear, bearing, and deflection and reports the governing limit.

Question 3

What are the characteristic values for Dindas Australia LVL 13.2?

Accepted Answer

LVL 13.2 is published with modulus of elasticity 13,200 MPa, characteristic shear strength 4.5 MPa, compression parallel to grain 30 MPa and approximate density 600 kg/m3. Characteristic bending strength varies with depth, from 37.8 MPa to 48 MPa across the sizes in the table above. It is strength group SD6 and joint group JD4. Values are taken from DINDAS LVL 13.2 Product Sheet (2024) and DINDAS LVL 14 Product Sheet (2024), so check them against the manufacturer's current design guide before you rely on them.

Question 4

What are the characteristic values for Dindas Australia LVL 14?

Accepted Answer

LVL 14 is published with modulus of elasticity 14,000 MPa, characteristic shear strength 4.5 MPa, compression parallel to grain 39 MPa and approximate density 760 kg/m3. Characteristic bending strength varies with depth, from 43.3 MPa to 52.2 MPa across the sizes in the table above. It is strength group SD5 and joint group JD4. Values are taken from DINDAS LVL 13.2 Product Sheet (2024) and DINDAS LVL 14 Product Sheet (2024), so check them against the manufacturer's current design guide before you rely on them.

Question 5

Does Calcs.com support Dindas Australia products?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 37 Dindas Australia sections are built into the section library, so you select them from a dropdown rather than entering properties by hand. They are available in 8 calculators, listed on this page.
