AITC Makes Continuing Education More Affordable!
AITC has just reduced our fees to develop and present IACET Continuing Eduction courses.
Please contact Jeff Linville to make arrangements for one of the 2 courses already developed,
or Jeff can develop a course to meet the needs of your organization.
See the Continuing Education page for further information.
AITC 405-2008 Has Completed the ANSI Consensus Process!
The Standard for Adhesives for Use in Structural Glued Laminated Timber,
AITC 405-2008, has been approved as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute with 100% consensus approval! This standard
outlines the minimum performance requirements for adhesives used in glulam. AITC 405-2008 is available for purchase on the
Publications page.
Thanks to all those who participated in the consensus process!
AITC Gains ALSC Accreditation!
The American Lumber Standards Committee has approved AITC
as a provider of supervisory service to lumber manufacturers who manufacture lumber and glued lumber
(which is different than glulam). AITC can begin providing services to lumber manufacturers
right away giving them the ability to stamp lumber products with a grade mark containing the AITC logo:
AITC is THE symbol of quality.
Wood Fabrication Program Offered!
AITC now offers a program to glulam fabricators to help ensure conformance to the International Building Code.
The purposes of this program are to establish nationally recognized requirements for the fabrication of structural
glued laminated timber components and assemblies, and to provide a common basis of understanding with respect to
what constitutes sound requirements for the fabrication of structural glued laminated timber components and
assemblies. AITC 115-2008 was developed as the guiding standard for this program and may be downloaded here.
AITC 115 describes the recommended minimum requirements for the shop-fabrication of structural glued laminated
timber and related components. It also describes the quality control system and the functions of an accredited
inspection agency. These requirements are intended to permit any suitable method of fabrication that will produce
a product of equal or superior quality to that specified.
If you have questions or would like to begin the process of accrediting your fabrication operations, please
contact Ron Goff at the AITC headquarters.
