h) LOCATION specifies the actual distance from the start of the
member to the section where design forces govern in case
BEAM command or SECTION command is specified.
OUTPUT parameters that appear within the box are explained as
follows:
a) MEMB refers to the same member number for which the
design is performed.
b) GLULAM GRADE refers to the grade of the timber.
c) LAM refers to lamination thickness provided in the input or
assumed by the program. See INPUT PARAMETERS section.
d) LZ, LY, LUZ and LUY are the effective lengths as provided or
calculated. See INPUT PARAMETERS section.
e) JZ and JY are the modifiers for the P-DELTA effect about Z-
axis and Y-axis respectively. These are calculated by the
program.
f) CDT, CSF, WET, CCR, CTM are the allowable stress
modifiers explained in the INPUT PARAMETERS section.
g) CFZ and CFY are values of the size factors in the Z-axis and
Y-axis respectively. CLZ and CLY represent the factors of
lateral stability for beams about Z-axis and Y-axis
respectively. These values are printed to help the user see the
intermediate design values and re-check the design
calculations.

are the actual axial stress, bending
stresses about Z and Y axes and horizontal shear stresses about
Z and Y axes respectively. If the bending moments about both
axes are less then the eccentric moments based on min.
eccentricity then bending stresses are calculated based on the
min. eccentricity . Refer DESIGN OPERATIONS section for
details.
i)
FA, FBZ, FBY, FVZ and FVY are the final allowable axial,
bending (Z and Y axes) and horizontal shear (Z and Y axes)
stresses. Refer DESIGN OPERATIONS section for details.
