v <br />March 20, 2018 <br />Re: Wood Construction Connector Com pllenCe for 2D151nter18tlOnal Cedes & 2017 Florida Codes <br />To Whom It May Concern <br />Section 2303.6 of the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) and 2017 Florida Building Code (FBC) specfies 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 Di761 Test Method for Mechanical Fasteners in Wood Both <br />methods determine a connector's allovrable bad as the lowest of the following. <br />i Lowest ultimate of three tests (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 (NOS) <br />The primary changes in ASTM D7147 are requirements to measure properties of the tested materials, such as steel <br />strength. fastener strength and wood specific gravity. The tested ultimate loads must be adjusted when tested <br />material properties exceed the specified properties. <br />ICC Evaluation Services (ICC-ES) revised AC13 Acceptance Criteria for Joist Hangers and Similar Devices in <br />October 2016 to incorporate a methodology to evaluate products to the 20151-Codes. Simpson Strong -Tie is working <br />on re-evaluating wood construction connector loads to the new standard to update our product evaluation report to <br />the 2015 I•Codes. As soon as the updated evaluation report are completed, we roll apply for Florida Product <br />Approvals. <br />However, reevaluating a large number of products wil 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 />2015 I -Codes and 2017 Florida Codes continue to accept code reports shoving compliance to the 2012 and 2014 <br />editions, respectively until July 2018 <br />The information in this letter t valid until 6/30/2018 when it wall be re-evaluated by Simpson Strong -Tie. Please visit <br />vmmstrona e,cc for additional pertinent information. If you have questions or need further assistance regarding <br />this matter, please contact the Simpson Strong -Tie Engineering Department at 800.999.5099. <br />Sincerely, <br />SIMPSON STRONG -TIE COMPANY INC. <br />Keith Cullum, P E., LEER AP dwiBON/ <br />Engineer Southeast U.S Branch <br />Y14e 1 of 1 <br />S�rnv:un 0twnp Tier Gnapan{ in, 2227 Country Lane M,Kimer.
