Technical Note: Load-Span Tables

information for structural panel products when used in
construction applications, APA provides design capacities
for the various span ratings and section properties for
various panel thicknesses. This Technical Note contains
uniform load tables calculated using these design
capacities. This brochure is available for purchase or as a
free downloadable PDF. Form Q225, 16 pages. $1.
Technical Note: Temporary
Construction Loads Over I-joist Roofs And Floors
This updated publication provides recommendations for proper
placement of heavy loads in a partially completed
light-framed structure to prevent damage to the structure
and/or injury to the work crew. Availalbe only as a free
downloadable PDF. Form J735, 5 pages.
APA Product Reports Available

that the product is in compliance with the national building
codes. The typical report covers the product's description,
qualifications, design properties, installation
recommendations, fire-resistant construction, supporting
load tables, span ratings and limitations. In an effort to
provide industry professionals with current product
