Revision of D245-06(2011) Standard Practice for Establishing Structural Grades and Related Allowable Properties for Visually Graded Lumber

Rationale

This revision adds an additional footnote to Table 10 for clarification regarding how the increase in allowable stresses for 19% is calculated from the increase provided for 15% MC, as well as an editorial change of referring to D2555 as a “Standard Practice” instead of a “Test Method”. While changes related to the derivation tension design values when tension tests are not available had been balloted previously, those have been deemed no longer necessary due to how D2555 will be modified. Also, throughout D245, editorially change all references of “Test Method D2555” to “Standard Practice D2555”
