CODE OF PRACTICE FOR STRUCTURAL USE OF TIMBER: PART 3 : PERMISSIBLE STRESS DESIGN OF GLUED LAMINATED TIMBER
MS 544 : PART 3:2001
Status : Withdrawn
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 5756 or equi ....Read more valent 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

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR STRUCTURAL USE OF TIMBER : PART 6 : WORKMANSHIP, INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE (FIRST REVISION)
MS 544 : PART 6 :2001 (CONFIRMED:2020)
Status : 1st Confirmation

This part gives recommendations for the preparation, fabrication, inspection, storage,
handling and maintenance of materials and components. The recommendations given in this part are necessary ....Read more 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 10: PRESERVATIVE TREATMENT OF STRUCTURAL TIMBER
MS 544 : PART 10 : 2003 (CONFIRMED:2024)
Status : 1st Confirmation
Format : PDF

This Malaysian Standard gives recommendations for preservative treatment of timbers to be used for structural purposes in Malaysia to protect them from degradation by wood-destroying organisms. It does not cover the remedial treatment of existing timber in old buildings. It does not deal with the protection of timber against fire, nor with preserving the appearance of timber against weathering or staining.

NOTE. All wood preservatives used in Malaysia have to be registered with Pesticides Board Malaysia under the Pesticides Act 1974 Close

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR STRUCTURAL USE OF TIMBER : PART 5 : TIMBER JOINTS
MS 544 : PART 5 : 2001
Status : Withdrawn
Format : PDF

This part applies to joints in solid timber fabricated with mechanical fasteners described by Malaysian Standard. These include joints fabricated with the following mechanical fasteners:

....Read more a) nails;
b) wood screws;
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
