Enter the glulam length (ft), the width (ft), and the thickness (ft) into the Glulam Weight Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Glulam Weight.

## Glulam Weight Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Glulam Weight.

GLW = L * W* T * 40.5782

Variables:

• GLW is the Glulam Weight (lbs)
• L is the glulam length (ft)
• W is the width (ft)
• T is the thickness (ft)

## How to Calculate Glulam Weight?

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Glulam Weight.

Example Problem #1

1. First, determine the glulam length (ft).
• The glulam length (ft) is calculated to be : 10.
2. Next, determine the width (ft).
• The width (ft) is measured to be: 5.
3. Next, determine the thickness (ft).
• The thickness (ft) is found to be: 5.
4. Finally, calculate the Glulam Weight using the formula above:

GLW = L * W* T * 40.5782

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

GLW = 10 * 5* 5 * 40.5782 = 10,144 (lbs)

Example Problem #2

The variables required for this problem are provided below:

glulam length (ft) = 12

width (ft) = 12

thickness (ft) = 12
