Effortlessly Calculate LVL Span Tables with Our Australia-Focused Calculator
Embarking on a construction project in Australia? You're likely to encounter the need for LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) span tables. These tables help determine the safe span of LVL beams based on their size and loading conditions. To simplify this process, we've developed an intuitive LVL span table calculator tailored to Australian standards.
Understanding LVL Span Tables
LVL span tables are essential tools for engineers, architects, and builders. They provide the maximum clear spanning capacity of LVL beams under various loading scenarios, ensuring the structural integrity and safety of your project. In Australia, these tables are based on AS 1720.1-2010, the standard for the design of timber structures.

How to Use Our LVL Span Table Calculator Australia
Using our calculator is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Select the LVL beam size from the dropdown menu. Our calculator supports a wide range of LVL beam sizes, from 30mm to 600mm depths.
- Choose the loading scenario. You can select from Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL), Concentrated Load (CL), or a combination of both.
- Enter the load value in kilopascals (kPa).
- Click 'Generate Table'. Our calculator will instantly generate an LVL span table based on your inputs.
Interpreting Your LVL Span Table Results
Once you've generated your LVL span table, you'll see a table displaying the safe span of the selected LVL beam under the specified loading conditions. The table will include spans for both simply supported and continuous beams.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about our LVL span table calculator or LVL beams in general? Check out our FAQs for more information.
| Q: Can I use this calculator for LVL beams with a depth greater than 600mm? |
|---|
| No, our calculator currently supports LVL beams up to 600mm in depth. For beams greater than this, we recommend using specialist software or consulting with a structural engineer. |
| Q: What if I need a span table for a loading scenario not listed in the calculator? |
| Our calculator supports the most common loading scenarios. If you need a span table for a different loading scenario, please contact us for assistance. |
