Innovations in structural lumber for wood trusses

Winistorfer, S.G. / Heard, L.R.

The need for efficient use of fiber in the wood industry has caused wood truss designers and manufacturers, as well as lumber manufacturers, to look toward non-traditional types of structural lumber. Innovations like non-standard width lumber (2-by-3's and 2-by-5's), machine graded lumber (MEL and MSR lumber), finger-jointed lumber, alternative species, and several types of structural composite lumber all have advantages, and also limitations, in particular applications of metal-plate connected wood trusses.
