Structural timber - Determination of characteristic values of mechanical properties and density

This European Standard gives a method for determining characteristic values of mechanical properties and density, for defined populations of visual and/or mechanical strength grades of sawn timber.
A method is also given for checking the strength of a timber sample against its designated value.
The values determined in accordance with this standard for mechanical properties and density are suitable for assigning grades and species to the strength classes of EN 338.
NOTE 1   For assigning grades and species to the strength classes in EN 338 only three characteristic values, i.e. bending strength, mean modulus of elasticity parallel to grain and density, need to be determined, other properties may be taken from the table in EN 338.
NOTE 2   EN 1912 gives examples of assignment to strength classes of established national or regional visual grades.

Bauholz für tragende Zwecke - Bestimmung charakteristischer Werte für mechanische Eigenschaften und Rohdichte

Diese Europäische Norm legt fest, wie charakteristische Werte für mechanische Eigenschaften und Rohdichtewerte von Schnittholz definierter Grundgesamtheiten von visuell und/oder maschinell nach der Festigkeit sortierte Sortierklassen zu bestimmen sind.
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 1   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 Rohdichte, erforderlich. Die übrigen Eigenschaften dürfen der in EN 338 angegebenen Tabelle entnommen werden.
ANMERKUNG 2   EN 1912 gibt Beispiele für die Zuordnung von Festigkeitsklassen von bewährten nationalen und regionalen visuellen Sortiergraden.

Structures en bois - Détermination des valeurs caractéristiques des propriétés mécaniques et de la masse volumique

La présente norme fournit une méthode permettant de déterminer des valeurs caractéristiques des propriétés
mécaniques et de la masse volumique, pour des populations de bois sciés définies, classées visuellement
et/ou mécaniquement.
Une méthode permettant de vérifier la résistance d’un échantillon de bois par rapport à une valeur spécifiée
est également fournie.
Les valeurs des propriétés mécaniques et de la masse volumique déterminées conformément à la présente
norme permettent d’affecter des classes et des essences aux classes de résistance de l'EN 338.
NOTE 1 Pour l’affectation des classes et des essences aux classes de résistance de l’EN 338, il suffit de déterminer
trois valeurs caractéristiques : à savoir la résistance à la flexion, le module d’élasticité moyen axial, ainsi que la masse
volumique ; d’autres propriétés peuvent être extraites du tableau de l’EN 338.
NOTE 2 L’EN 1912 fournit des exemples d’affectation de classes de résistance aux classements visuels nationaux ou
régionaux.

Konstrukcijski les - Ugotavljanje značilnih vrednosti mehanskih lastnosti in gostote

Ta evropski standard podaja metodo za določevanje značilnih vrednostih mehanskih lastnosti in gostote za določeno populacijo razredov na podlagi vizualnega in/ali mehanskega razvrščanja v razrede trdnosti rezanega lesa. Metoda je prav tako podana za preverjanje trdnosti vzorca lesa z njegovo določeno vrednostjo. Vrednosti, določene v skladu s tem standardom za mehanske lastnosti in gostoto, so primerne za označevanje razredov in vrst za razrede trdnosti iz EN 338.

Bauholz für tragende Zwecke - Bestimmung charakteristischer Werte für mechanische Eigenschaften und Rohdichte This European Standard was approved by CEN on 4 March 2010.
CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN Management Centre or to any CEN member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Form for declaring characteristic values . 17Bibliography . 19 SIST EN 384:2010

Structural codes can only function effectively if standard methods of determining the mechanical and physical properties exist.
Whilst total accuracy of characteristic values for any defined population is an aim, it is recognized that this is not achievable. A major aim of the procedures given in this standard is to produce characteristic values that are comparable in terms of the populations they represent. It is also important that the standard permits the use of as much existing test data as possible from various sampling and testing techniques.
Where methods are given to permit characteristic values to be determined from a less than ideal amount of structural size test data or from small, clear, defect-free specimen test data, reduction factors to reflect a lower degree of confidence are employed.
This standard covers the stages of population definition, sampling, testing and analysis and presentation of data in the determination of characteristic values. SIST EN 384:2010

A method is also given for checking the strength of a timber sample against its designated value.
The values determined in accordance with this standard for mechanical properties and density are suitable for assigning grades and species to the strength classes of EN 338. NOTE 1 For assigning grades and species to the strength classes in EN 338 only three characteristic values, i.e. bending strength, mean modulus of elasticity parallel to grain and density, need to be determined, other properties may be taken from the table in EN 338. NOTE 2 EN 1912 gives examples of assignment to strength classes of established national or regional visual grades. 2 Normative references
