Description:
What's Changed? (list of non-editorial changes from prior edition)
ANSI/TPI 1 establishes minimum requirements for the design and construction of metal-plate-connected wood Trusses. This Standard describes the materials used in a Truss, both lumber and steel, and design procedures for Truss members and joints. Responsibilities, methods for evaluating the Metal Connector Plates, and manufacturing quality assurance for the Trusses are also contained in this Standard. ANSI/TPI 1 - 2014 consists of the Standard and Commentary & Appendices. New in this edition are provisions for Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD), expanded deflection criteria to include limitations often specified by Building Designers, and a reorganized Design Responsibilities chapter. ANSI/TPI 1-2014 is referenced in the 2015 International Building Codes.
TPI 1 was first published as an ANSI Standard in 1995 (ANSI/TPI 1-1995). Since 1995, TPI has been updated through TPI's ANSI approved consensus process. Subsequent TPI 1 publications are the ANSI/TPI 1-2002 edition, ANSI/TPI 1-2007 edition, and the most current version, ANSI/ TPI 1-2014 edition. Earlier predecessors to TPI 1can be viewed in the TPI Archives.
