<br />Re: Wood Construction Connector Compliance for 2015 International Codes & 2017 Florida Codes
<br />To Whom It May Concern:
<br />Co
<br />Co 4-
<br />Section 2303.5 of the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) and 2017 Florida Building Code (FBC) specifies that � ,� V) Q
<br />joist hangers shall be tested per ASTM 07147 Testing and Establishing Loads of Joist Hangers. Previous versions of
<br />the IBC and FBC required testing to comply with ASTM D1761 Test Method for Mechanical Fastener in Wood. Both
<br />methods determine a connector's allowable load as the lowest of the following:
<br />1. Lowest ultimate of three tests (or average of 6) vvith a safety factor of 3
<br />2. Average load at l/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 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 />[CC 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 2015 ]-Codes. Simpson Strong -Tie is working
<br />on re-evaluating wood construction connector loads to the new standard to update our product evaluation reports to
<br />the 2015 I -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 />2015 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 6/302018 when it will be re-evaluated by Simpson Strong -Tie. Please visit
<br />www.strongtie.c0m 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.
