There were 3 Public Reviews during the development of ANSI/TPI 1-2007. The PC completed its efforts in December 2007. ANSI officially approved the process in February 2008. Final publication is scheduled for spring of 2008. ANSI/TPI 1-2007 establishes minimum requirements for the design and construction of metal plate connected wood trusses.
