ApPENDIX B TIMBER DESIGN PROPERTIES ‘Table BI gives the normalised Basic Working Stresses (Working Stress Design) and Stiffness values assigned to the MGP pine stress grades referred to in this manual. The basic working stress values are multiplied by the depth effect factors given in Table B2. Compression perpendicular to grain and joint shear strength as derived from AS1720.1 Table 2.2 for SD6 timber, are 4.1 and 1.7 MPa, respectively. MGP pine is assigned joint strength groups as shown in Table B3.
