Yes, The multiple layers of wood glued together makes them 50x stronger than standard lumber.
MIcrolam is very similar to lumber, but it is much stronger. it is made with the same layering technique, but has more durablilty, and requres less supporting beams. Microlam would be a great choice for a deck.

unless you got a great deal on them, it would never make $$$ sense to use a microlam in lieu of a TJI joist or dimensional lumber. . .microlam is too costly if you have them on hand, I would call the manufacturer. . .they should be able to give you the numbers or send you a book with the span charts
Microlam (or glulam) is an engineered timber product that is made from layers or wood held together with adhesives. The end product is generally made into lengths or beams that are stronger and less prone to warping and twisting than standard timber products.
The price for a 2x8 LVL is approximately 3.03 per foot while dimensional lumber 2x8's is selling for $0.80 per foot. So the answer to your question is no. Laminated veneer lumber is not cheaper than dimensional lumber.
Kiln-dried lumber is stronger and more stable than green lumber due to the removal of moisture, resulting in less warping and shrinking. This leads to better structural integrity and performance in construction projects. Green lumber, on the other hand, is more prone to warping and shrinking as it dries, which can affect the overall stability and longevity of the structure.
The weight capacity of a microlam beam depends on its size, span length, and load distribution. It is important to consult a structural engineer to determine the specific weight capacity for your particular application.
sonic is stronger than knuckles yes he is stronger than vector
The correct grammar is "stronger than I".When in doubt, finish the sentence. You would say, "He is stronger than I am." Therefore, you can say, "He is stronger than I", even though it may sound odd because we are not used to hearing the correct grammar.
yes.
Yes. Actually... a diamond is NOT 'stronger' than steel. A diamond is 'harder' than steel, but it is not stronger.
Stronger gravity than what? The gravity of Venus is stronger than that of the moon or of Mars, but weaker than that of Earth.
Bears are stronger than cougars
