Lorch Certified for Structurcl Lominotion

Larch of the'Western Pine region is now fully accredited for lamination into large structural timbers. A manual listing standard specifications, working stresses and design has just been published by the Western Pine Association.

Publication of standards follows an extended period of statistical studies by the Western Pine research laboratory in Portland in collaboration with the Forest Products Laboratory. in Madison. Specifications as prepared and published conform to Forest Products Laboratory recommendations.

The manual sets forth details of grading-rule requirements, modification of stresses, curvature limits, complete working stresses for botlr two-inch and one-inch material, lumber specifications,. glue standards, and joint requirements, edge joints, fabrication practices, protection and marking and net widths of the finished laminated products.

Another section spells out standard appearance grades as recommended by the American I4stitute of Timber Construction.

"Lumber grades listed are standard grades that are manufactured in quantity daily by our mills in the Larch'producing areas," said Carl A. Rasmussen, Western Pine research diiector. "Larch is ideally suited to structural -lamination because of its high strength, straight grain, relatively small knot sizes and glueability. It dries readily and our mills have adequate kiln capacity for supplying a large market. We are happy to have Larch sanctioned as a full-fledged member of the structural lamination family, a field for which this western mountain wood is most suitable."

Copies of the manual can be obtained from the Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland 4. Oregon.
