SBCA Magazine

The mission of the Structural Building Components Association (SBCA) Magazine is to increase the knowledge of and to promote the common interests of those engaged in manufacturing and distributing structural building components. Further, the SBCA Magazine strives to ensure growth, continuity and increased professionalism in our industry, and to be the information conduit by staying abreast of leading-edge issues. The magazine’s editorial focus is geared toward the entire structural building component industry, which includes the membership of the Structural Building Components Association (SBCA). 

The March/April issue looks at how changes to ANSI/TPI 1-2022 will impact top chord-bearing truss design. In addition, the magazine looks at the workforce impact of increased automation, as well as the value SBCA’s new Education Committee will bring to the industry.
