Description of ASTM-D3957 2003
ASTM D3957-03
Historical Standard: ASTM D3957-03 Standard Practices for Establishing Stress Grades for Structural Members Used in Log Buildings
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D3957
1. Scope
1.1 These practices cover the visual stress-grading principles applicable to structural wood members of nonrectangular shape, as typically used in log buildings. These practices are meant to
supplement the ASTM standards listed in Section , which cover stress-grading of sawn lumber and round timbers. Pieces covered by these practices may also be used in building types other than
log buildings.
1.2 The grading provisions used as illustrations herein are not intended to establish grades for purchase, but rather to show how stress-grading principles are applied to members used in log
buildings. Detailed grading rules for commercial stress grades which serve as purchase specifications are established and published by agencies that formulate and maintain such rules and
operate inspection facilities covering the various species.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate
safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
