What happens here

Although the presenter humorously states he is not an engineer, he implies that the process of gluing and compressing the multiple layers of wood in both LVL and glue lam construction significantly enhances their strength. This makes them suitable for structural applications where high load-bearing capacity is required, such as in timber beam connections in hybrid structures.

Goal: The video concludes by briefly acknowledging that the engineered nature of glue lam beams contributes to their significant strength.

What they say

Hide

vertically. Well, this is a glue lamb. And you can see it's essentially just a bunch of dimensional lumber stacked on top of each other, glued, compressed. I guess it makes it really strong. I don't know. I'm not an engineer. We just use the stuff.
