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
Format : PDF

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 4 : TIMBER PANEL PRODUCTS : SECTION 4 : ORIENTED STRAND BOARD (OSB)
MS 544 : PART 4 : SECTION 4 : 2001 (CONFIRMED:2020)
Status : 1st Confirmation
Format : PDF

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 ....Read more in 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

Format : PDF

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 roofs. The m ....Read more ethod of calculation is for single span ceiling binders formed from solid timber 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

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
