Previous versions of <br />the IBC and FBC required testing to comply with ASTM D1781 Test Method for Mechanical Fasteners in Wood. Both <br />methods determine a connector's allowable bad as the bwost of the following: <br />1. Lowest ultimate of three tests (or average of 8) with a safety factor of 3 <br />2. Average load at 1/84nch 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 tasted 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 Acoeptance Criteria for Joist Hangars and Similar Devices in <br />October 2D16 to incorporate a r iftodobgy to evaluate products to the 2015 I -Cates. Simpson Strong -Tie is working <br />on re-evalusbng wood construction connector loads to the nett 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 Coles 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 8/30/2018 when it will be re-evaluated by Simpson Strong -Tie. Please visit <br />wwmstronotle.com for additional pertinent information.
