A glue-laminated column of 3-m effective length is to be made from boards of 24 × 100-mm cross section. Knowing that for the grade of wood used, E = 11 GPa and the adjusted allowable stress for compression parallel to the grain is σ_C = 9 MPa, determine the number of boards that must be used to support the centric load shown when (a) P = 34 kN, (b) P = 17 kN.
