The purpose of this study is to establish a design method for the splitting strength of glued laminated timber beam with two round holes. In this paper, a design method for splitting strength is proposed by formulating the ratio of the maximum tensile stress perpendicular to the grain acting around the hole as the distance between the holes decreases, using finite element analysis. Then, a three-point bending tests were conducted on a glued laminated wood beam with two round holes, and the experimental and calculated values were compared to confirm the validity of the proposed design method.
