Material Properties

The characteristic values of the material properties which are provided by default have been taken from the following references:

• Solid Timber: EN 338 Ref.[4]

• Glued Laminated Timber: EN 14080: Ref.[5]

• The shear modulus G_0.05 is not given in any material code reference but is required for the Timber Code Check. This value is calculated during the Check as E_0.05/16 as given in Ref.[7] pp 109 and 209.
