Ah, so laminated beams. It has a name. I can google for it now, thanks.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glued_laminated_timber>

Glued laminated timber (often shortened to glulam) is a structural 
engineered wood product made by bonding layers of dimensional lumber 
with moisture-resistant structural adhesives so the wood grain in each 
layer runs parallel to the member’s length. The resulting elements can 
be manufactured in a range of sizes and shapes, including straight 
members and curved components such as arches and frames used in building 
structures.

In North America, the lumber used for the laminations is commonly called 
laminating stock (or lamstock). Glulam is produced by preparing and 
grading lumber, joining boards to create longer laminations, applying 
adhesive and pressing the layers under controlled conditions, and then 
finishing the cured members to meet structural and appearance 
specifications.

Glulam is used in applications that benefit from long spans and 
prefabricated structural members, including roof systems, public 
buildings, and bridges, and is manufactured to meet established building 
and product standards.
