Incising Factor?
Incising Factor?
(OP)
Trying to design an exterior deck made out of PT wood. What types of wood need to be incised during the PT process? I am trying to figure out if I should apply the incising factor or not.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

"Incising is practiced primarily on Douglas-fir, western hemlock, and western larch ties and timbers for pressure treatment and on cedar and Douglas-fir poles. Incising can result in significant reductions in strength (Chap. 5)."
