Continuous exploitation of trees which is done to get a wood with good quality can effect in the lack of the wood availability. One of the effort that can be done to overcome these problems by using the Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) sengon wood because this wood is one of the fast growing wood so its availability can be guaranteed. Excessive load that occurs in a column structure can effect a column failure in resisting the load called buckling. This buckling can cause an imbalance in a structure system so the structure will fail to withstand the load. The method that is used in this research is laboratory experimental and analysis method. This research is conducted with compress test the specimen of sengon Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) built up column. The number of specimens which is used are nine pieces consist of three variations and each variation there are three specimens. From the test results of sengon Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) built up column are obtained compressive capacity for variation LVL A LVL B, and LVL C is 68733.3 N, 74100 N and 16800 N in a row. Maximum load test results of sengon LVL built up column is smaller than the theoretical maximum load calculation results. Keywords : Laminated Veneer Lumber, Sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria), built up column, compressive capacity.
