Product Details
Preface
This is the fourth edition of CSA O122, Structural glued-laminated timber. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2006, 1989, and 1980.
This Standard contains stress grades for Douglas Fir-Larch, Western Hemlock, Hem-Fir/Douglas Fir-Larch, Lodgepole Pine, Jack Pine, and Spruce. This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CSA O177, Qualification code for manufacturers of structural glued-laminated timber.
Changes to this edition include the following:
a) the grade combination for 16c-E Douglas fir/Larch glulam has been changed;
b) allowances have been made for the manufacturing glulam products that will have a 1 h and 2 h fire rating;
c) procedures to allow the use of edge-glued lamina in glulam have been approved;
d) requirements have been added to the Standard for vacuum pressure cycle testing of end joints;
e) the sampling requirements have been increased for the vacuum pressure cycle testing of face bonds and reduced for the block shear testing of face bonds;
f) a new grade combination for Douglas fir/Larch 24f-E and 24f-EX glulam, which was included in the 2009 revision of CSA O122, is part of this Standard; and
g) normative Annex B has been added, for the development of specified strengths and modulus of elasticity for glulam.
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.
