About Southern Pine Design Values
On January 11, 2012, the American Lumber Standard Committee (ALSC) Board of Review approved changes to design values for 2x4 Southern Pine #2 and all lower grades (i.e. #3, Stud, Construction, Standard, and Utility) with a recommended effective date of June 1, 2012, to allow for their orderly implementation. AWC will be developing an addendum for the NDS® Supplement with the new Southern Pine design values in advance of the implementation date. For more information, visit www.spib.org.
