Overview The 1996 Florida Structural Glued Laminated Timber of Hardwood Species Specifications Code provides comprehensive requirements for the use of hardwood species in the production of structural glued laminated timber (glulam). This code includes guidelines for the selection of hardwood species, adhesive types, lamination processes, and quality control measures to ensure the structural integrity, durability, and aesthetic quality of glulam components made from hardwoods.
The 1996 edition aligns with industry standards such as those from the American Institute of Timber Construction (AITC) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and incorporates Florida-specific amendments to address the state’s unique environmental conditions and regulatory requirements. This code is essential for manufacturers, architects, engineers, and contractors involved in the production and use of hardwood glulam in Florida construction projects.
