Wood Columns

This document summarizes the Ylinen column equation used to design a wood column. It provides the parameters for a sample 6x6 Douglas-Fir-Larch No. 2 column with a concentric axial load of 13,000 lbs and an effective unbraced length of 14 feet in both the strong and weak axis. It then calculates the adjustment factors and material properties to determine the design compressive stress capacity is 433.8 psi, which exceeds the required compressive stress of 429.8 psi. Therefore, the 6x6 Douglas-Fir-Larch No. 2 column meets the design requirements.

Column Parameters:

P= 13,000 lb concentric axial loading


le,x = 14 ft effective unbraced length for buckling about strong axis
dx = 5.5 in cross-sectional dimension for strong axis
le,y = 14 ft effective unbraced length for buckling about weak axis
dy = 5.5 in cross-sectional dimension for weak axis
(le/d)x = 30.55 strong axis slenderness ratio
(le/d)y = 30.55 weak axis slenderness ratio

Material Properties:

Fc = 900 psi tabulated compressive stress


E' = 1,600,000 psi adjusted modulus of elasticity [E' = E(Ci)(CM)(Ct)]
A= 30.25 in2 cross-sectional area

Adjustment Factors:

CF = 1.0 size factor (1.15 for 4x, 1.1 for 6x, 1.0 for up to 12x, 0.9 for 14x & wider)
CD = 1.0 load duration factor (0.9 for dead loads only, 1.0 for live, 1.15 for snow)
Ci = 1.0 incising factor (0.8 for treated wood if incising is used)
CM = 1.0 wet service factor (1.0 for < 19% moisture content)
Ct = 1.0 temperature factor (1.0 for < 100°F exposure)

KcE = 0.3 0.3 for visually graded lumber; 0.384 for MEL; 0.418 for MSR/glulam
c= 0.8 0.8 for sawn lumber; 0.85 for round timber; 0.9 for glulam/composites
