Abstract
The formulation of an alternate methodology for the design of wood structural members is described. Load and resistance factors are developed to convert existing code requirements into a limits states design format. Comparisons of the resulting factors are obtained by examining existing codes from several European countries as well as the National Design Specification of the United States. Current factors vary significantly. Use of the load and resistance format for design of wood structures is propose, based on further studies using probability-based criteria.
