CODE OF PRACTICE FOR STRUCTURAL USE OF TIMBER: PART 3 : PERMISSIBLE STRESS DESIGN OF GLUED LAMINATED TIMBER
MS 544: PART 3:2001
Status : Original
Format : PDF

Glued laminated timber (glulam) should be manufactured in accordance with MS 758 : 2001
and Clause 4. All timber used for laminated members should be strength graded in
accordance with BS ....Read more 5756 or equivalent Malaysian Standard.
NOTES:
1. The stresses given in this part of MS 544 apply only to timber graded in accordance with BS 5756 with respect to
structural tropical hardwoods. Because this standard is primarily for solid structural timber, manufacturers of glued
laminated timber may need to specify overriding requirements for wane, fissures and distortion. In deriving the
recommended stress for timber, estimates of 5 % lower exclusion values of the strength and stiffness were used.
Furthermore, the modulus of elasticity values no longer included element due to shear.
2. Grade and species for glulam that satisfy the requirement for strength classes are given in Table 1. Glulam
strength properties may be determined from the strength class properties given in Table 2. Close

MS 544 : PART 6 :2001 (CONFIRMED:2020)

This part gives recommendations for the preparation, fabrication, inspection, storage,
handling and maintenance of materials and components.
The recommendations given in this part are nece ....Read more ssary conditions for applicability of the
permissible stresses and loads given elsewhere in MS 544.
Materials should be applied, used and fixed in such a way as to perform adequately the
functions for which they are designed.
Workmanship in fabrication, preparation and installation of materials should conform in all
respects to accepted good practice.
There should be adequate supervision throughout the preparation and construction of the
structure to ensure that it conforms to the principles and practical considerations of the
design.
Members which are damaged, crushed or split beyond the limits permitted for similar defects
in the grading should be rejected or repaired to the satisfaction of the designers and
approving authority. For wood particleboard, cement bonded particleboard and high density
fibreboard, in addition to the recommendations given in this part, all the recommendations of
BS 5669 should be followed.
The clauses in this part apply to all assemblies other than those of glued laminated members
which are dealt with in MS 758, BS 4169 and MS 544 : Part 3. Close

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR STRUCTURAL USE OF TIMBER : PART 4 : TIMBER PANEL PRODUCTS : SECTION 4 : ORIENTED STRAND BOARD (OSB)
MS 544: PART 4: SECTION 4:2001 (CONFIRMED:2020)

This Section gives recommendations for the use of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) in
construction. The panels in conformance to this Section are intended for use as floor and wall
sheathings i ....Read more n light framing construction. However, uses are not limited to these applications.
Other possible uses may include temporary formworks for concrete and furniture frames.
The strength values listed in Tables 5, 6 and 7 in this Section relate to product strength
properties but they are not design values to be used directly in engineering calculations
without proper reduction factors. These reduction factors take into account the variability of
strength of manufactured panels and also load duration. Since the production of OSB in this
country is still new, the reduction factor that relates to the manufacturing variation cannot be
determined. However, laboratory scale experiment had been conducted to make the
derivation of the allowable spans for OSB panels possible. Therefore, for the purpose of floor
design, the allowable span values given herein should be used Close

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR STRUCTURAL USE OF TIMBER : PART 11 : RECOMMENDED SPAN TABLES AND THEIR CALCULATIONS : SECTION 3 : CEILING BINDERS
MS 544 : PART 11 :SECTION 3 : 2001 (CONFIRMED:2020)
Status : Original

This Section of MS 544 : Part 11 recommends a calculation basis for the permissible clear
span of ceiling binders used in traditional pitched roof construction, i.e. not including trussed

and supported at each end by external or internal walls. The space above the ceiling binders
is assumed to be accessible, thus both uniform loads and a single concentrated load are
considered. A typical example of roof construction is given in Figure 1.
This Section of MS 544 : Part 11 is applicable to the species, strength groups and grades of
timber given in MS 544 : Part 2 Close

c) bolts;
d) coach screws;
e) split-ring connectors; and
f) shear-plate connectors.
NOTES:
1. Design rules for specialised and patented mechanical fasteners and for variants of conventional fasteners are not
included in this code.
2. This Standard doe.s not specifically cover glued timber-to-timber or timber-to-plywood connections as occurred in
fabricated components such as stressed skin panels or plywood webbed beams. In such cases, joint design can be
based on the timber components in the connection, provided that the joint is fabricated using a rigid, durable
adhesive. Phenolic type adhesives meet these requirements. The design of fabricated components comprising glued
connections is therefore based on the fact that with correct bonding practice and quality control, a joint is developed
in which the adhesive bond strength and durability will be superior to the components comprising the joint. Reference
may be made to AS 1720.1: 1988, Appendix D2 for information on methods for assessing the deformation of joints. Close
