3 Materials
3.1 Timber
3.1.1 Timber for load-bearing structure includes log, square timber, plank, dimension lumber, glued laminated timber, structural composite lumber and wood-based structural panels.
3.1.2 Square timber, log and plank may be visually stress-graded, and the material selection standard shall meet the requirements of A.1 in Annex A of this standard. The timber grade of square timber members visually graded and processed in factories shall meet those specified in Table 3.1.2, and the material selection standard shall meet the requirements of A.1.4 in Annex A of this standard. The grade standard of commercial timbers shall not be used to replace the timber grade specified in this standard.

2 Members for columns If IIf IIIf
3.1.3 When designing the members of the square timber and log structures, the corresponding timber grades shall be selected according to the main purposes of the members. The requirements for visually stress-graded lumber, if adopted, shall not be lower than those specified in Table 3.1.3-1; the requirements for square timber processed in factories, if used as beam-column members, shall not be lower than those specified in Table 3.1.3-2.

3.1.4 Square timber and logs shall be chosen from the tree species listed in Table 4.3.1-1 and Table 4.3.1-2 of this standard. Coniferous species shall be used for main load-bearing members; hard broadleaf wood, which is of fine and straight grain, no knots, no other defects and decay resistance, shall be adopted for important connectors.
3.1.5 The use of imported timber in timber structure engineering shall meet the following requirements:
1 Wood species with little natural defects and defects resulting from dryness and good decay-resistance shall be chosen;
2 Imported timbers shall have approved certification mark and be accompanied by relevant technical documents;
3 Imported timbers shall meet the relevant requirements of the state on animal and plant quarantine of imported timber;
