ANSI/APA PRG 320-2011 Standard for
Performance-Rated Cross-Laminated Timber
A new standard for cross-laminated timber (CLT) was approved for publication last month by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Cross-laminated timber is a prefabricated solid engineered wood panel made from at least three layers of solid-sawn lumber or structural composite lumber (SCL) that are stacked cross-wise and bonded together with structural adhesives to form a solid, rectangular-shaped panel that is intended for construction applications, including roofs, floors and walls in residential and non-residential buildings.
ANSI/APA PRG 320 provides requirements and test methods for qualification and quality assurance of CLT. The standard includes seven stress classes covering major wood species in North America.
The 29-page brochure, ANSI/APA PRG 320-2011: Standard for Performance-Rated Cross-Laminated Timber, Form PRG 320 is available as a free downloadable PDF from APA's Publication Library
