Simpson Manufacturing Company is an engineering firm and building materials producer in the United States that produces structural connectors, anchors, and products for new construction and retrofitting. The company was founded by Barclay Simpson in Oakland in 1956, as a successor to his father's window screen company. [1]
As written on its name, the building is made of glued laminated timber, or glulam in short. [1] The gallery is built on 4.9 hectares of land owned by MTIB and showcases the use of adhesives and wood laminates as a loadbearing architectural structure and building cladding. [4] It uses 39 sets of glulam load-bearing structures made from timbers. [5]
Glulam brace with plates used for connections Glulam frame of a roof structure. Glued laminated timber, commonly referred to as glulam, is a type of structural engineered wood product constituted by layers of dimensional lumber bonded together with durable, moisture-resistant structural adhesives so that all of the grain runs parallel to the longitudinal axis.
Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc.(SGH) is a privately held ENR 500 engineering firm that designs, investigates, and rehabilitates structures and building enclosures.Their work encompasses commercial, institutional and residential buildings, transportation, water/wastewater, nuclear, science, and defense structure projects throughout the U.S. and over twenty foreign countries.
Glulam beams were used to support the second floor and the roof. This allowed the appearance of wooden columns, while providing the necessary strength. [2] The method for calculating the size of a flitch beam to be used in construction is straightforward, using the transformed-section method.
A pipe support or pipe hanger is a designed element that transfer the load from a pipe to the supporting structures. The load includes the weight of the pipe proper, the content that the pipe carries, all the pipe fittings attached to pipe, and the pipe covering such as insulation .
Attempts have been made to increase the safety of bridges with pin and hanger assemblies by adding some form of redundancy to the assembly. Retrofits that add redundancy to pin and hanger assemblies include adding a "catcher's mitt"—a short steel beam attached to the bottom of the cantilevered girder that extends out beneath the suspended girder to "catch" the suspended girder should ...
Solid-sawn timber and glulam posts are generally notched to form a truss bearing surface. The truss is rested on the notches and bolted into place. A special plate/bracket may be added to increase connection load transfer capabilities. With mechanically-laminated posts, the truss may rest on a shortened outer-ply or on a shortened inner-ply.
