**LVL Beam Problem
**8/13/06

LVL (MircoLam) beam is commonly used in the residential construction.
Sometimes, we need to use it to support a floor framing and also use a steel post to support the beam.
What are the support framing details like?
If the connection details are not well designed, you will encounter some field problems. (see photos taken for an apartment building floor framing)

-Multiple LVL beam connection details
-Beam bearing
-Beam to column connection
-How to fix the problems?
-Others (?)
