GL32h (EN 14080) - Design Values

GL32h (EN 14080) is a glued-laminated timber grade with reference design values to EN 14080:2013. In Eurocode 5 terms its characteristic bending strength fm,k is 32 N/mm², compression parallel fc,0,k is 32 N/mm², and mean modulus E0,mean is 14.2 kN/mm² (EN 338 / EN 14080). Values are shown before adjustment factors; apply the relevant NDS C-factors or EC5 k_mod and γ_M for your load case.
