This European Standard sets out provisions regarding the performance characteristics for prefabricated structural (load-bearing) wall, floor and roof elements consisting of framing members of timber, glued solid timber, glued laminated timber, laminated veneer lumber (LVL), structural prefabricated wooden beams/columns and sheeting made of wood-based boards/panels or gypsum boards/panels on one or both sides, for use in service class 1 or 2 in accordance with EN 1995-1-1.
This European Standard also specifies additional requirements for the components and for the production of the elements.
It sets down requirements for the provision of performance details of prefabricated elements at point of delivery.
The panels and/or boards are connected to the framing members by suitable structural adhesive bonding or by mechanical fixing. The elements may be insulated or uninsulated. The exterior faces of the elements may also be covered with insulation material.
This European Standard covers glued and mechanically fixed wall elements with length of maximal 16,5 m, height of maximal 3,2 m and of unrestricted thickness.
This European Standard covers mechanically fixed floor and roof elements with length of maximal 16,5 m and a thickness of maximal 1,0 m and a width of maximal 3,5 m. The mechanically fixed floor element may include additional bond lines to increase stiffness to enlarge resistance versus vibrations.
This European Standard covers glued floor and roof elements with length of maximal 12,5 m and a load bearing cross-sectional thickness of maximal 0,35 m and a width of maximal 3,5 m.
This European Standard identifies structural (3.1.4) and non-structural (3.1.3) components to be used in the elements.
This European Standard also lays down provisions and Procedures for Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance of these elements.
