Wesbeam LVL sizes and section properties

Every Wesbeam section in the Calcs.com library, with the section properties and characteristic values used to design it.

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 Wesbeam LVL come in?
Calcs.com carries 42 Wesbeam sections across e-beam and e-beam+ [F17]. Depths run from 70 mm to 450 mm (70, 90, 120, 130, 140, 150, 170, 190, 200, 240, 290, 300, 360, 400, 450 mm), in breadths of 35, 45, 63, 75 mm. Every one of those sections is selectable in the calculators listed on this page.
Is there a span table for Wesbeam 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 Wesbeam 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 Wesbeam e-beam?
e-beam is published with modulus of elasticity 13,200 MPa, characteristic shear strength 5.3 MPa, compression parallel to grain 47 MPa and approximate density 660 kg/m3. Characteristic bending strength varies with depth, from 40.2 MPa to 50 MPa across the sizes in the table above. It is strength group SD6 and joint group JD3. Values are taken from Wesbeam [e-beam/e-beam+] LVL Characteristic Values & Design Criteria (December 2018), so check them against the manufacturer's current design guide before you rely on them.
What are the characteristic values for Wesbeam e-beam+ [F17]?
e-beam+ [F17] is published with modulus of elasticity 14,000 MPa, characteristic shear strength 5.3 MPa, compression parallel to grain 47 MPa and approximate density 660 kg/m3. Characteristic bending strength varies with depth, from 50.5 MPa to 59 MPa across the sizes in the table above. It is strength group SD6 and joint group JD3. Values are taken from Wesbeam [e-beam/e-beam+] LVL Characteristic Values & Design Criteria (December 2018), so check them against the manufacturer's current design guide before you rely on them.
Does Calcs.com support Wesbeam products?
Yes. 42 Wesbeam 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.
