1、 ANSI O5.2-2012 Structural Glued Laminated Timber for Utility Structures AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FOR WOOD PRODUCTS Accredited Standards Committee O5 was first organized in 1924 by the Bell Telephone System and the U.S. Independent Telephone Associations American Standards Association (ASA) Teleph
2、one Group. The Exchange Carrier Standards Association (ECSA), which later became the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS), accepted sponsorship and Secretariat responsibility for ASC O5 in 1985. The American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) then assumed the role of Secretariat
3、, effective January 1, 2011. ASC O5 is jointly accredited with its Secretariat by the American National Standards Institute. This committee develops standards for wood poles, crossarms, braces, and glue laminated timber for utility structures. For more information, visit the ASC O5 website at www.as
4、co5.org. Founded in 1904, the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) is a non-profit organization that promulgates voluntary standards for technologies which protect wood from degradation. AWPA Standards are developed by its technical committees in an open, consensus-based process that involves
5、 individuals from all facets of wood preservation: Producers of preservatives and preservative components; producers of treated and untreated wood products; end users of treated wood; engineers, architects and building code officials; government entities, academia, and other groups with a general in
6、terest in wood preservation. AWPAs Standards are universally specified for wood protection in the USA, and are recognized worldwide. For more information visit the AWPA website at . AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that the requirements for
7、 due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means m
8、uch more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclu
9、de anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of
10、 any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appea
11、rs on the title page of this standard. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American
12、 National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute. Notice of Disclaimer except that the needles shall be inserted to only a maximum of 1/4 the thickness of the piece of lumber. 4.3.3.3 If the moisture content of any o
13、ne piece of lumber does not fall within the minimum and maximum equilibrium moisture content specified by the purchaser (see Table 1), or if more than 5% of the pieces have a moisture content range greater than five percentage points, then each piece of lumber in the lot shall be checked for moistur
14、e content. All pieces not within the minimum and maximum values of Table 1 shall be rejected. 4.4 Designated fiber strength values The designated ultimate fiber strength values for structural glued laminated timber shall be determined according to either 4.4.1 or 4.4.2. 4.4.1 Fiber strength values b
15、ased on AITC designated combinations or their equivalents developed in accordance with ASTM D3737 Fiber strengths for various laminating combinations listed in AITC 117, or their equivalents developed in accordance with ASTM D3737, may be determined by multiplying the design strength, adjusted for a
16、ll end use conditions, by the actual beam volume factors, the loading condition coefficients as given in AITC 117 and by the values shown in table 2. The actual volume factors shall be permitted to exceed 1.0. Table 2 Stress adjustment factor K For laminated timber 2-5/8“ (67 mm) to 6-3/4“ (171 mm)
17、in width 3“ (76 mm) to 15“ (381 mm) in depth For laminated timber greater than 6-3/4“ (171 mm) in width or greater than 15“ (381 mm) in depth K = 2.9 or use the procedure outlined in 4.4.2 K = 2.7 or use the procedure outlined in 4.4.2 ANSI O5.2-2012 - 6 - 4.4.2 Fiber strength values for a specific
18、combination Fiber strength for a specific combination may be determined by testing a representative sample and determining the 75% one sided lower confidence level of the mean. Sampling and testing shall follow ASTM D2915, ASTM D1036 or other acceptable test procedures. An example of how to calculat
19、e fiber strength values based on test data is shown in Annex B.
