Rule 48.1

48.1	Wood
	Values used for moduli of rupture for wood in bending, in conjunction with the safety factors given in Rule 44 , shall not exceed those shown in Table 5.

Strikeout and Underline Version
Rule 48.1

48.1	Wood
	A.	Natural Wood (Non Laminate)
		(1)	Poles
			Values usedThe required strength for moduli of rupture for natural wood in bending, poles of various species meeting the requirements of ANSI O5.1 2008 shall be derived in conjunction with the safety factors in Rule 44 and the designated fiber strength specified in ANSI 05.1 2008. Table 5 lists some of the values of fiber strength specified in ANSI 05.1 2008.
		(2)	Sawn Wood Structural Members
			The required strength for sawn wood structural members, such as crossarms and braces, meeting the requirements of ANSI O5.3 2008 shall be derived in conjunction with the safety factors in Rule 44 and the designated fiber strength specified in ANSI O5.3 2008. Multiply the given allowable stress values by 0.55 for sawn wood where the loading being considered is a long-time loading (i.e., continuous load for one year or more). in Rule 44 , shall not exceed those shown in Table 5 .
	B.	Laminated Wood
		The required strength for laminated wood poles and other structural members, such as crossarms, meeting the requirements of ANSI O5.2 2006 shall be derived in conjunction with the safety factors in Rule 44 and the designated strength specified in ANSI O5.2 2006.
