A high strength, high modulus fiber (30) is applied to uncured adhesive (26) in the glue line (28) of a laminar wood beam (10) as anti-sag agent and for improved shear strength and gapability. The fibers (30) are evenly applied over the adhesive (26) at approximately 0.25 to 1.35 wt. % fiber. The applied fibers (30) are chopped fibers of aramid, carbon, glass or other high strength, high modulus fiber and are applied in lengths of approximately 0.025 to 2.54 centimeters. |
