I have been using the following in my structural notes for treated GluLam beams:
GluLam beams exposed to weather shall be in accordance with AWPA standard U1 to the requirements of use category A (UC4A).
However, I got an objection from a plan check engineer saying that I needed to add / revise the note to say that the GluLam beam needs to be pressure treated per CBC 2304.12.2.4.
Am I wrong here? Isn't the AWPA standard the more appropriate and specific requirement that should be listed in my notes?
