Overview
TPI has re-opened the TPI 2 Project Committee (PC). The application period for those wishing to actively serve on the TPI 2 PC is open until 02/23/09.
The TPI 2 Project Committee (PC) is developing a new standard which is building on the TPI 2-2002 standard (released as a non-mandatory Appendix-E to ANSI/TPI 1-2007) to reflect the current advances made within the industry. The scope of the new standard is as follows:
The standard will provide procedures for testing & evaluating wood trusses designed & fabricated with metal connector plates. Destructive load tests of full scale trusses in accordance with these procedures provide a means of demonstrating that minimum adequate performance is obtainable from specific metal connector plates, various lumber types and grades, a particular truss design, particular fabrication procedures, etc..
The PC operates in accordance with the TPI Project Committee Method to Achieve Consensus (PCMAC).
