(OP)
Can anyone tell me why there is so much difference in Fc allowable for lumber vs timber? Seems crazy to me that you only get about 1/3 of the allowable by switching from a 4x6 to a 6x6.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Wood Column
So we have a #2 grade that is easy to visually apply, by the grading inspectors, to a group of lumber/timber members with a lot of design values that the engineers get to use. Rather than one set of design values for each grade, for the engineers, with a difference set of grading rules for each grade/size of the lumber/timber members, for the grading inspectors.

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.
