LOG BEAM SECTIONS

    A study of the integrals required to engineer a log beam.

    These integrals are used in the worksheet Log Beam Calculator, which solve basic values for a simple, uniformly loaded beam up to three logs in depth, with allowances for scribes and cuts made to accomodate ridges and purlins.
