Glued-in rods in glued structural timber products - Testing, requirements and bond shear strength classification

This document specifies test methods for the determination of the suitability of two component epoxy and two component polyurethane adhesives for glued-in steel rods in glued laminated timber (GLT) and glued solid timber (GST) according to EN 14080, cross laminated timber (CLT) according to EN 16351 and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) according to EN 14374.
NOTE 1 The English term "glued-in rods" has been chosen as the established term instead of "bonded-in rods".
It specifies performance requirements and the determination of characteristic bond strength values for such adhesives for the prefabrication under factory or factory-like conditions of joints between load-bearing timber products and steel rods only. This document does not cover the performance of adhesives for on-site gluing (except for factory-like conditions).
NOTE 2 Factory like conditions provide shelter from direct weathering and dirt, prevent undue movement of the joints during curing of the adhesive and provide temperature and relative humidity conditions and control as in factory production environment.
This document also covers glued-in rods in surface treated wood. It does not cover glued-in rods in modified and stabilized wood with considerably reduced swelling and shrinkage properties, e.g. acetylated wood, heat treated wood, polymer impregnated wood and preservative treated wood.
The joints are intended for load-bearing timber structures in service classes 1 and 2 according to EN 1995-1-1 which are loaded predominantly static or quasi static according to EN 1990 and EN 1991-1-1. The joints are intended for load-bearing timber structures which are not subjected to a prolonged exposure to temperatures over 60 °C.
A design procedure for glued-in rods in glued structural timber products is given in the informative Annex A.
NOTE 3 Several provisions of this document can apply to in situ repair and upgrading of existing timber structures including (cracked/fissured) solid wood beams. For adhesives for glued-in rods used in on-site repair or applications with solid timber additional provisions apply, e.g. related to rheology and site temperature conditions. Such provisions are not part of this document.

Eingeklebte Stangen in tragenden geklebten Holzprodukten - Prüfung, Anforderungen und Scherfestigkeitsklassifizierung

Dieses Dokument legt Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Eignung von Zweikomponenten-Epoxid- und Zweikomponenten-Polyurethanklebstoffen für eingeklebte Stahlstangen in Brettschichtholz (GLT, en: glued laminated timber) und in Balkenschichtholz (GST, en: glued solid timber) nach EN 14080, in Brettsperrholz (CLT, en: cross laminated timber) nach EN 16351 und in Furnierschichtholz (LVL, en: laminated veneer lumber) nach EN 14374 fest.
ANMERKUNG 1 In der englischen Fassung wurde die übliche Benennung „glued-in rods“ anstelle von „bonded-in rods“ gewählt.
Es legt ausschließlich Leistungsanforderungen und die Bestimmung der charakteristischen Festigkeitswerte der Verklebung für solche Klebstoffe für die Vorfertigung von Verbindungen zwischen tragenden Holzprodukten und Stahlstangen unter Werksbedingungen oder werksähnlichen Bedingungen fest. Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar für die Leistungsfähigkeit von Klebstoffen für das Kleben auf der Baustelle (außer unter werksähnliche Bedingungen).
ANMERKUNG 2 Werksähnliche Bedingungen bieten Schutz vor direkter Bewitterung und Schmutz, verhindern eine unzulässige Bewegung der Verbindungen während des Aushärtens des Klebstoffs und bieten Bedingungen und Kontrolle der Temperatur und relativen Luftfeuchte ähnlich wie in der Produktionsumgebung einer Fabrik.
Dieses Dokument ist außerdem anwendbar für in oberflächenbehandeltes Holz eingeklebte Stangen. Es ist nicht anwendbar für eingeklebte Stangen in modifiziertem und vergütetem Holz mit deutlich verringerten Quell- und Schwindeigenschaften, z. B. acetyliertes Holz, wärmebehandeltes Holz, polymerimprägniertes Holz und mit Holzschutzmitteln behandeltes Holz.
Die Verbindungen sind für tragende Holzkonstruktionen der Nutzungsklassen 1 und 2 nach EN 1995 1 1 vorgesehen, die vorwiegend statisch oder quasistatisch nach EN 1990 und EN 1991 1 1 belastet werden. Die Verbindungen sind für tragende Holzkonstruktionen vorgesehen, die nicht über eine längere Zeitspanne Temperaturen über 60 °C ausgesetzt sind.
Ein Verfahren zur Bemessung für eingeklebte Stangen in geklebten Holzprodukten ist im informativen Anhang A aufgeführt.
ANMERKUNG 3 Mehrere Bestimmungen dieses Dokuments können für die Reparatur und Nachrüstung bestehender Holzkonstruktionen vor Ort, einschließlich (gerissener/gespaltener) Vollholzbalken anwendbar sein. Für Klebstoffe für eingeklebte Stangen, die bei Reparaturen vor Ort oder bei Anwendungen mit Vollholz verwendet werden, gelten zusätzliche Bestimmungen, z. B. in Bezug auf Rheologie und Temperaturbedingungen vor Ort. Derartige Bestimmungen sind nicht Teil dieses Dokuments.

Goujons collés dans les produits en bois de structure collé - Essais, exigences et classification de la résistance au cisaillement du joint

Le présent document spécifie des méthodes d’essai visant à déterminer l’aptitude à l’emploi des adhésifs époxydiques et polyuréthanes bicomposants pour les goujons en acier collés dans du bois lamellé collé (GLT) et du bois massif reconstitué (GST) selon l’EN 14080, dans du bois lamellé croisé (CLT) selon l’EN 16351 et dans du lamibois (LVL) selon l’EN 14374.
NOTE 1   En anglais, le terme « glued-in rods » a été choisi comme terme consacré au lieu de « bonded-in rods ».
Le présent document spécifie les exigences de performance et la détermination des valeurs caractéristiques de résistance du joint pour ces adhésifs, uniquement pour ce qui concerne la préfabrication en conditions d’usine ou dans des conditions similaires aux conditions d’usine des assemblages entre produits porteurs en bois et goujons en acier. Le présent document ne couvre pas les performances des adhésifs pour le collage sur site (à l’exception des conditions similaires aux conditions d’usine).
NOTE 2   Les conditions similaires aux conditions d’usine impliquent un abri contre l’exposition directe aux intempéries et à la saleté, empêchent un mouvement intempestif des assemblages pendant la polymérisation de l’adhésif et assurent des conditions de température et d’humidité relative et un contrôle semblables à ceux de l’environnement de production d’une usine.
Le présent document traite également des goujons collés dans du bois ayant reçu un traitement de surface. Il ne couvre pas les goujons collés dans les bois modifiés et stabilisés ayant des propriétés de retrait et de gonflement fortement réduites, par exemple les bois acétylés, les bois traités thermiquement, les bois imprégnés de polymère et les bois traités avec un produit de préservation.
Les assemblages sont destinés aux structures portantes en bois des classes de service 1 et 2 selon l’EN 1995 1 1, qui sont soumises à des charges essentiellement statiques ou quasi statiques selon l’EN 1990 et l’EN 1991 1 1. Les assemblages sont destinés à des structures portantes en bois qui ne sont pas soumises à une exposition prolongée à des températures supérieures à 60 °C.
Une méthode de calcul pour les goujons collés dans les produits en bois de structure collé est décrite dans l’Annexe A, informative.
NOTE 3   Plusieurs dispositions du présent document peuvent s’appliquer à la réparation et à la remise en état in situ de structures en bois existantes, y compris de poutres en bois massif (fissurées). S’agissant des adhésifs pour goujons collés utilisés pour des réparations sur site ou dans des applications avec bois massif, des dispositions supplémentaires s’appliquent, par exemple concernant la rhéologie et les conditions de température sur site. Ces dispositions ne figurent pas dans le présent document.

1 Scope

This document specifies test methods for the determination of the suitability of two component epoxy

and two component polyurethane adhesives for glued-in steel rods in glued laminated timber (GLT) and

glued solid timber (GST) according to EN 14080, cross laminated timber (CLT) according to EN 16351

and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) according to EN 14374.

NOTE 1 The English term “glued-in rods” has been chosen as the established term instead of “bonded-in rods”.

It specifies performance requirements and the determination of characteristic bond strength values for

such adhesives for the prefabrication under factory or factory-like conditions of joints between load-

bearing timber products and steel rods only. This document does not cover the performance of adhesives

for on-site gluing (except for factory-like conditions).

NOTE 2 Factory like conditions provide shelter from direct weathering and dirt, prevent undue movement of the

joints during curing of the adhesive and provide temperature and relative humidity conditions and control as in

factory production environment.

This document also covers glued–in rods in surface treated wood. It does not cover glued-in rods in

modified and stabilized wood with considerably reduced swelling and shrinkage properties, e.g.

acetylated wood, heat treated wood, polymer impregnated wood and preservative treated wood.

The joints are intended for load-bearing timber structures in service classes 1 and 2 according to

EN 1995-1-1 which are loaded predominantly static or quasi static according to EN 1990 and

EN 1991-1-1. The joints are intended for load-bearing timber structures which are not subjected to a

prolonged exposure to temperatures over 60 °C.

A design procedure for glued-in rods in glued structural timber products is given in the informative

Annex A.

NOTE 3 Several provisions of this document can apply to in situ repair and upgrading of existing timber

structures including (cracked/fissured) solid wood beams. For adhesives for glued-in rods used in on-site repair or

applications with solid timber additional provisions apply, e.g. related to rheology and site temperature conditions.

Such provisions are not part of this document.
