Product Details
Preface
This is the second edition of CSA 056, Round wood piles. It supersedes the previous edition published in 1962 and replaces CSA O56-M79, Round wood piles.
The major changes in this edition include the following:
(a) The 1962 imperial and 1979 metric editions of the Standard have been consolidated, and metric dimensions have been further refined to accommodate established imperial dimensions and measurements.
(b) The definitions clause has been expanded, and terminology has been made consistent with other CSA wood standards.
(c) In Table A.1, the metric size designation size 27 has changed to 28; the associated criteria and the imperial values have not been changed.
This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.
Scope

This Standard covers material, manufacturing, and dimensional requirements for untreated and treated round wood piles.
