Full Description

1.1This guide identifies variables to consider when evaluating repetitive-member assembly performance for parallel framing systems.

1.2This guide defines terms commonly used to describe interaction mechanisms.

1.3This guide discusses general approaches to quantifying an assembly adjustment including limitations of methods and materials when evaluating repetitive-member assembly performance.

1.4This guide does not detail the techniques for modeling or testing repetitive-member assembly performance.

1.5The analysis and discussion presented in this guideline are based on the assumption that a means exists for distributing applied loads among adjacent, parallel supporting members of the system.

1.6Evaluation of creep effects is beyond the scope of this guide.

1.7This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
