Re: The Orangerie - Glulam design question

So, just taken the clamps off of the frame made with M&T's. Substantially more stable, less resistant to flexing along the diagonals and not a creak from glue lines cracking as there was with the Domino. I'm referring to the glue line on the end grain of the rail where the shoulders are. When I removed the clamps with the Domino's, definite creaks as the Domino's let the joint flex slightly.

So for this application, at least, M&Ts are the way to go. But I'm still going to use Domino's elsewhere.

Re: The Orangerie - Glulam design question

Postby RogerS » 08 Aug 2018, 12:56

Been a bit quiet posting so thought I'd better give an update.

The two sets of frames (five each) for the two long 8m walls are done and have a good coat of linseed oil primer.

Image

The end frames have had multiple redesigns as I vacillated between glulam direction. I also realised that I'd originally designed it as one piece which in hindsight was a bit dumb as it would not have been easily moveable from the workshop. So this is the final design showing the infill details - windows and doors - but not the frame...you need to imagine that !

Image

Oh, alright. Here's one of the outermost frames..

Image

Little bit of more interesting joinery here as I needed a return to tie in to the front or rear walls.

Image

Image

And what about the glulams did I here you ask. Well.................I drew a blank with the structural engineer as you know who only really understood steel which is fair enough. One company started asking me about 'grades' and lots of other techie questions which were totally out of my depth. I'd sent a drawing to several companies with sizes and roof loading so I thought it would be plain-sailing. I started looking at tables myself but they all seemed to be for floor joists and so using lots of them. Then the tables started talking about shear and all sorts of other stuff that although I knew what the terms meant I hadn't a clue how to put them into practice !

I needed this

Image

to support this

Image

I was beginning to despair. Gut feel and looking a little bit at the tables plus some rumination told me that I could get away with glulams 45mm wide but my local company stocked 90 x 315mm which I kinda thought was definitely up there with the best Victorian over-engineering but beggars can't be choosers. And then .....

Out of the blue I got a phone call from a design engineer at a company that I'd contacted via their website some three weeks or more ago and forgotten all about. He asked me some more questions and then asked 'Would you like me to quote for JJ-ijoists to go round the flat part of the roof'.. Oooh...yes please :shock:

Next morning, completely detailed quote....the four glulams (45mm ones ...hah...I was right, see) plus all the hardware and JJ-ijoists and VAT and delivery for less than 1/3 the price of the four 90mm glulams. :text-bravo:

If anyone is interested in seeing how they make them

Rats...I'd planned to glue-up the last sub-frame today but when I came to do it realised that this muppet had put the Dominos on the wrong face. So Domino's are glueing up to fill the 'oles and I'll finish it tomorrow.

Weather's not doing me any favours at the moment. But at least it gets me indoors working on laying the oak flooring.

cills cleaned up. Amazing how dirty they've got. Also discovered the downside of linseed oil paint (but may be my technique) is that it doesn't flow as well as water-based paints. So you end up with 'dirt magnets' aka brush strokes.

cills checked that they all outfall outwards and screwed down.

tools out, screws out (although not as many 5 x 80 as I'd hoped), timber supports - check, clamps - check

Damn bloody weather.

Rain stopped play and a panic to get protection onto all the exposed tenons. :(

I got as far as being able to check the diagonals. 5mm difference which ain't bad, I reckon, over 8m x 4m

Afraid not. I got three up and had clamped together the fourth wall to ensure that the third wall was going to plan and in the right place.

Doesn't look too bad...got up on the step-up to check to see if the ends were in wind or not and didn't look too bad.

But....jeez...it's bloody huge !

The Gods looked favourably on us and a window of opportunity let me get all the frames in place.

Rain again tomorrow so it will be Thursday before I can do anymore.
