2005 National Design Specification? (NDs?) for Wood Construction

The 2005 Edition of the National Design Specification for
Wood Construction is expected to be approved as an American
National Standard in December 2004 or early 2005,
with a designation ANSl/AF&PA NDS-2005. The 2005 NDS
was developed as a dual format specification incorporating
design provisions for both allowable stress design (ASD)
and load and resistance factor design (LRFD). AF&PA:s
Wood Design Standards Committee (WDSC) guided it
through the consensus process over the course of 2-1/2
years. The primary change in the 2005 NDS is the introduction
of LRFD methods to the Specification.
