Determine the allowable load on a 3 m long layered built-up column made up of 6 nominal 2”x 6” pieces of Apitong lumber (actual size 1.5” x 5.5”). The column does not have full lateral bracing to prevent weak axis buckling of individual laminations. However, the specified fastening requirements for nailed built-up columns are satisfied. Assume column pinned in one end and fixed to other end. Consider normal duration of loading. The column used is visually graded sawn lumber.
