Technical Data
The following load table was derived from the 2005 National Design Specification, published by the American Forest & Paper Association and American Wood Council, and physical testing performed by Timber Products Inspection, Inc.
General Loading Information
- The allowable loads indicated are based upon normal load durations during a controlled test at sustained temperatures less than or equal to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
- The provided values can be used in wet or dry service conditions.
- The provided values do not compensate for reduced net section areas due to boring, grooving, notching, etc.
- Loads are based upon a pin-pin configuration with all loads acting at the center of the column. No eccentric loads have been considered.
- Loads are based upon column ends bearing on a durable, rigid, homogenous material with sufficient stiffness to evenly distribute the applied load.
