T, <br />• <br />Mardi 20, 2018 <br />Re: Wood Construction Connector Compliance for 2015 International Codes d 2017 Florida Codes <br />To Whom It May Concern; <br />Section 2303.5 of the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) and 2017 Florida Building Code (FBC) species that <br />joist hangers shall be tested per ASTM D7147 Testing and Establishing loads of Joist Hangers. Previous versions of <br />the IBC and FBC required testing to comply with ASTM D1761 Teat Method for Mechanioe/ Fasteners in Wood. Both <br />methods determine a connector's allowable load as the bvrsat of the following: <br />1. Lowest ultimata of three beats (or average of 6) with a safety factor of 3 <br />2. Average load at 1/8-inch deflection <br />3. Calculations per American Wood Council National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS) <br />The primary changes in ASTM D7147 are requirements to measure properties of the bested materiels, such as steel <br />strength, fastener strength, and wood specific gravity. The tested ultimate loads must be adjusted when landed <br />material properties exceed the specified properties. <br />ICC Evaluation Services ([CC -ES) revised AC13 Acceptance Crileris for Joist Hangars and Similar Devices in <br />October 201 a to incorporate a metfadology to evaluate products to the 20151-Codes. Simpson Strong -Tie is working <br />on re-eveluabng wood construction connector bads to the new standard to update our product evaluation reports to <br />the 2016 [-Codes, As soon as the updated evaluation reports are completed, we will apply for Florida Product <br />Approvals. <br />However, reevaluating a large number of products will take time. While manufacturers work with product certification <br />agencies to update their wood connector evaluation reports, we recommend that building departments under the <br />2016 I -Codes and 2017 Florida Codes continue to accept code reports showing compliance to the 2012 and 2014 <br />editions, respectively, until July 2018. <br />The information in this letter is valid until t3f30I2018 when it will be re-evaluated by Simpson Strong -Tie. Phase visit <br />i006w.stronabo.co for additional pertinent Information. If you have questions or reed further assistance regarding <br />this matter, please contact the Simpson Strong -Tie Engineering Department at 800.t9B.5m. <br />Sincerely, <br />SIMPSON STRONG -TIE COMPANY INC. <br />Keith Cullum, P.E.
