Structural timber - Determination of characteristic values of mechanical properties and density
This standard gives a method for determining characteristic values of mechanical properties and density, for defined populations of timber of visual/or mechanical strength grades. A method is also given for checking the strength of a timber sample against its designated value. The values determined is in accordance with this standard for mechanical properties and density are suitable for assigning grade and species to the strength classes of EN 338.
Bauholz für tragende Zwecke - Bestimmung charakteristischer Werte für mechanische Eigenschaften und Rohdichte
Diese Norm beschreibt, wie charakteristische Werte für mechanische Eigenschaften und Rohdichtewerte von Holz definierter Grundgesamtheiten zu bestimmen sind. Grundgesamtheiten im Sinne dieser Norm sind visuell und/oder maschinell festigkeitssortierte Sortierklassen.
Außerdem wird ein Verfahren zur Überprüfung der Festigkeitswerte einer Probe zum Vergleich mit genormten Festigkeitswerten angegeben.
Die nach dieser Norm bestimmten mechanischen Eigenschaften und Rohdichtewerte sind für die Zuordnung der Holzarten und -klassen in die Festigkeitsklassen nach EN 338 geeignet.
ANMERKUNG Für die Zuordnung der Holzarten und -klassen in die Festigkeitsklassen nach EN 338 ist die Bestimmung von nur drei charakteristischen Werten d. h. Biegefestigkeit, Mittelwert des Elastizitätsmoduls parallel zur Faserrichtung und der Rohdichte, erforderlich. Die übrigen Eigenschaften können der in Tabelle 338 angegebenen Tabelle entnommen werden
