Question: 3 . An 1 8 - inch - deep glulam beam has a moisture content of ( 1 0 % ) .

3. An 18-inch-deep glulam beam has a moisture content of \(10\%\). Assuming \(1\%\) swelling (relative to green dimension) per \(5\%\) increase in moisture content below fiber saturation point (FSP), compute the new depth of the beam if the moisture content is increased to \(45\%\). Assume a \(30\%\) FSP.
