Every Nelson Pine LVL section

All 47 Nelson Pine sections in the Calcs.com library, with the section properties and characteristic values used to design them.

These are section properties and characteristic values, not allowable spans. A span depends on your loads, member spacing, and deflection limit, so it has to be calculated.

Every section below is built into the calculator. Enter your span and loads to see whether the section passes, and by how much.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes does Nelson Pine LVL come in?
Calcs.com carries 47 Nelson Pine sections across LVL11, LVL11 and LVL13. Depths run from 90 mm to 1220 mm (90, 115, 140, 150, 170, 190, 200, 240, 300, 360, 400, 460, 610, 1220 mm), in breadths of 45, 63, 90 mm. Every one of those sections is selectable in the calculators listed on this page.
Is there a span table for Nelson Pine LVL?
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 Nelson Pine section in a Calcs.com calculator and enter your actual loads. The calculator checks bending, shear, bearing, and deflection and reports the governing limit.
What are the characteristic values for Nelson Pine LVL11?
LVL11 is published with modulus of elasticity 11,000 MPa, characteristic shear strength 5 MPa, compression parallel to grain 38 MPa and approximate density 575 kg/m3. Characteristic bending strength varies with depth, from 24.8 MPa to 38 MPa across the sizes in the table above. It is strength group 0 and joint group J5. Values are taken from NelsonPine LVL Specific Engineering Design Guide (Dec 2016), so check them against the manufacturer's current design guide before you rely on them.
What are the characteristic values for Nelson Pine LVL11?
LVL11 is published with modulus of elasticity 11,000 MPa, characteristic shear strength 5 MPa, compression parallel to grain 38 MPa and approximate density 575 kg/m3. Characteristic bending strength varies with depth, from 27.9 MPa to 38 MPa across the sizes in the table above. Values are taken from NelsonPine LVL Specific Engineering Design Guide (Dec 2016), so check them against the manufacturer's current design guide before you rely on them.
What are the characteristic values for Nelson Pine LVL13?
LVL13 is published with modulus of elasticity 13,200 MPa, characteristic shear strength 5.3 MPa, compression parallel to grain 38 MPa and approximate density 575 kg/m3. Characteristic bending strength varies with depth, from 37.8 MPa to 44.5 MPa across the sizes in the table above. It is strength group 0 and joint group J5. Values are taken from NelsonPine LVL Specific Engineering Design Guide (Dec 2016), so check them against the manufacturer's current design guide before you rely on them.
Does Calcs.com support Nelson Pine products?
Yes. 47 Nelson Pine sections are built into the section library, so you select them from a dropdown rather than entering properties by hand. They are available in 10 calculators, listed on this page.
